Do I need to pay for my dental treatment?

I am currently claiming JSA and going back and forth to the dentist as having problems with my teeth and jaw. I first saw the dentist regarding this 8/10. I am a NHS dental patient.
I will be going back to the dentist on 10/11, when I start my first day at work. I don't start until 2pm, so got a 10am appointment. This will be the appointment they will give me a temporary nightshield to wear at night to correct my bite as causing my teeth and jaw to ache.
Now, I don't know if I will need to attend anymore sessions after 10/11, but will I need to pay them anything at all?

Do you have an NHS exemption certificate? I get WTC and got sent one of those and I get free NHS dental treatmentMFW 2011 challenge - Aim: Overpay £414.26 a month/£5,000 a year. Overpayment Total to date: £414.26:jMortgage start 28/9/07 £46,217.00 :TMortgage balance as of 25/05/11 £24,490.58 :T
Interest saved as of 25/05/11: £2,849.84 Projected term reduction as of 25/05/11: 9 years 11 months0 -
Contributions based JSA doesn't entitle you to free dental treatment anyway -- you have to be in receipt of means tested benefits. (We got last year due to WTC and less than a certain income, I think it was £15k+ for a family).
If you have an excemption certificate, then it has a 'valid to' date on it -- and even if you go back to work/start working it is STILL valid until that date (I had to check as I went back to work in Feb, and ours were valid until end June).Cheryl0
