How Kingston Trust Fund dental benefits work
The Kingston Trust Fund provides health and welfare benefits to eligible members of the Kingston Teachers’ Federation. It added dental benefits in 2007, and they are administered by Sele-Dent.
- Sele-Dent handles your dental benefits. Questions about eligibility, limits and claims go to Sele-Dent.
- The plan has frequency and replacement rules for exams, cleanings, X-rays, gum care and larger restorative work.
- We check before treatment. The team reviews your benefits with you and gives you a written estimate first.

Care based on what your teeth need
A benefit you haven’t used isn’t a reason for treatment. Dr. Ibrahim Sayeed recommends care only when your teeth need it, explains your options plainly and keeps as much natural tooth as he can.
If the plan leaves a balance, CareCredit and Cherry let you spread it over monthly payments.
