How can i find if I'm entitled to NHS dental service? I ask GP or what? ITs first time.Thanks?

Answer 1

There still are some NHS dentists.....its finding them that's the problem. Phone NHS Direct to find out where your nearest NHS dentist is. Their telephone number is 0845 606 46 47, Also there are some walk in centres that carry out emergency NHS dental work but its only extractions and temporary fillings again NHS Direct should be able to tell whether there is a walk in centre near where you live.

Good Luck

Answer 2

If you're a British citizen you should be entitled to NHS dental service- however, this doesn't make it free, simply cheaper. If you don't have much money in savings and are earning under c.£16,000 p.a. you can apply for an HC1 certificate which, if you can provide the necessary documentation, entitles you to reduced fee/free dental treatment in the UK (as well as glasses, eye checks, prescriptions etc.). If you're not a British citizen but you are EU, you should check on the NHS website. If you're here as a student you should still have access to the NHS, but otherwise I'm afraid it gets a little complicated. Good luck!

Answer 3

Evertbody is entitled to NHS dental work. The problem you have will be to find a NHS dentist.

Your GP should be able to help with a list.

Answer 4

it really is amazingly puzzling to stumble on a dentist who will address new NHS sufferers. it really is the fault of the authorities not prioritising dental well being. i think very strongly about this and that i'm not even a dentist!! in case you save searching, you'll finally stumble on a good NHS dentist. you may also ask your GP, or telephone large education hospitals on your section who often times furnish loose clinical care (administered by technique of supervised students) good luck!

Answer 5

There seems to be a real shortage of nhs dentists so you'll probably have a job finding one that will take you on.
If you are British then you will be entitled to nhs treatment but it will still cost you unless you are claiming certain benefits.

Answer 6

if you pay national ins contributions then you are if not then your not? thats how it works or if you are under the age of 16 or 19 and in full time education and your parents reside in the uk and pay nat/ins contributions then you will be entitled to nhs dental service if none of these then no you will have to pay the full price which is how it should be

Answer 7

UK (I presume): Find yourself a Dentist who is willing to take you on as a NHS patient. Produce details of your National Health Number and carry on. However, you will be lucky if you can find a dentist willing to take on NHS patients. The vast majority only do private work..............

Answer 8

You'll be lucky no one anywhere gets any treatment whether entitled to it or not unless you pay. 18 months is normally the NHS waiting period.

Answer 9

hi
it depends if you are working ? if you are you will. but if you are claiming income support this will entitle you to free dental and free prescriptions and free eye test with you only having to pay a small amount for eny glasses you buy the social security will pay the rest. you will also qualify for rent and poll tax rebate along with many other things . but only if you are receiving income support.

Answer 10

Your wasting your time it's free because you don't get it .

Wait until your liver , kidneys and heart are on the way out because of septicaemia caused by rotten teeth then go to hospital and they will sort you out ,

For some reason this is considered by government to be the cheaper approach ?
