Thanks Elric. Do you just have to prove you are over 60 (female) or over 65 (male) or is it 60 for both -like prescriptions?

A Elderly people(People on retirement state pension) don't automatically get free dental treatment or spectacles.If you are in receipt of certain state benefits ie the equivalent of income support etc then dental and optical treatment are free on the NHS. You can ask your local Dept of Works and Pensions or your local NHS dentist and they will advise you of what particular state benefits you need to be claiming to qualify for the free service. Hope this helps.

No, but there is a great dental plan for only $19.95 per month, which helps you save up to 80% off your dental services! Feel free to contact me for additional information. I can be reached at 313-477-2064

Through personal experience. Being on pension credit I was exempt from payment.

It depends on your insurance plan. Try www.retirement-news.com, it has a lot of info about retirement benefits.

SORRY BUT THERE'S NOT A FREE RIDE WHERE DENTAL CARE IS CONCERNED. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET A DISCOUNT IF YOU'RE A SENIOR, BUT NOTHING IS "FREE" IN DENTISTRY EXCEPT THE TOOTHBRUSHES THEY GIVE AWAY.

No such luck! not unless you are on certain benefits and you use an NHS dentist
