If you are on benefits do you get free dental treatment if you have an NHS dentist?

The attached link will tell you more. I remember when I was on Unemployment Benefit I wasn't entitled to free treatment as I was not on Income Support. I'm not quite sure how the Jobseeker's Allowance works.

If you are on benefits do you get free dental treatment if you have an NHS dentist?
Depends on the type of benefit, check with your dentist

Reply:if your on benefits check with your disclaimer book or better yet call the company to see what is covered and what is going to be at cost to you.
Reply:yes, so get all your fillings done
Reply:You can get free dental, eye tests even wigs on the nhs while claiming most benefits. To get a dentist phone the Nhs direct to register with them and they will find you a dentist. also if you need any emergency care or advice they will help straight away.
Reply:Go to your local Job-Centre, Doctors, Hospital, Dentist, Go to any of these, and ask for a H.C.1 form, and with it you will get a pre-paid return envelope, fill it in and send it off, and on it's return, it will tell you everything that you are intitled to e.g. dental, glasses+eye tests,contact lenses,wigs and fabric-supports, and even travel to hospitals for NHS treatment, depending on what benefit your on, in some of these cases, you don't have to pay at all.

Reply:Who goes to an NHS dentist anymore? Everyone that I hear from that does has more troubles than not. See if you can't find a private one who takes benefits instead and get good treatment.
Reply:Yes if you can find a NHS dentist that is good luck
