If you are not getting income support ring 0845 8501166 & ask for a HC1 form, (HC1 stands for help with health costs) If you are getting Incapacity Benefits and/or Housing Benefit & community charge benefit then they will pay for all prescriptions and dental work you need, you have to fill in a new HC1 every year. (They caount any disability living allowance, so it is mot taken into consideration when working out your HC1 entitlement)
Get the certificat when you return the HC1 before you go to the dentist or you will have to pay and then claim a refund.
If you can not find a NHS dentist who will take you on ring NHS direct.
If you do not mind travelling if you can not find a dentist in London then I can give you a phone number of a dentist in Taunton, Somerset. It will be a 3 hour journey from London but she is good and you can get a train straight though from Paddington.

Help with health costs covers:

Free NHS prescriptions
Free NHS dental treatment
Free NHS sight tests
Vouchers towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses
Free NHS wigs and fabric supports
Repayment of necessary travel costs to hospital and back for NHS treatment
Do you or your partner get:

Income Support
Pension Credit guaranteed credit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Working Tax Credit with Child Tax Credit, or
Working Tax Credit with a disability element, or
Child Tax Credit and you are not eligible for Working Tax Credit, and
Your gross annual income for 2003 is £14,200 per year or less?
(This figure is shown on the front page of your tax credit award notice)

Or are you:

Named on a tax Credit NHS Exemption Certificate?
If YES to any of the above, you can get help with health costs.

If NO, you may be able to get help with health costs through the NHS Low Income Scheme.

You can get claim form HC1 from Jobcentre Plus or social security offices.

For information about help with health costs, phone NHS Direct on 0845 46 47
For information about Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit, phone the Inland Revenue Helpline on 0845 300 3900. If you use a textphone, the number is 0845 300 3909.

As you are on incapacity benefit, you do not pay for any treatment you receive on the NHS. I suggest that you get seen by a dentist asap, if you are not registered with a NHS dentist you may find it difficult to do so now. NHS dentists are few and far between since the new contract came in on April 1st.

Make an appointment for a check up at a dentist, if you explain that you are terrified of having treatment, they will give you something to help calm you down before you have treatment or see your GP and explain your fear of dentists he will give you something to calm you before your visit. Depending on the state of your teeth and how many you need to have taken out you may be referred to your local hospital to have them removed under anaesthetic. It will be done on NHS if you go to a NHS dentist and not a private one. Depending whether you have to pay depends on your circumstances, ring dentist and the receptionist will be able to help, Good Luck
