Who is entitled to free dental care?


You can get free NHS dental treatment if you are:

• under 18
• 18 and in full-time education
• pregnant, or have had a baby in the 12 months before treatment starts,
• an NHS inpatient and the treatment is carried out by the hospital dentist, or
• an NHS Hospital Dental Service outpatient. There may be a charge for dentures and bridges

You are also entitled to free NHS dental treatment if you or your partner (including civil partners), receive either:

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Pension Credit Guarantee Credit; or
• you are named on, or entitled to (use your award notice as evidence), an NHS tax credit exemption certificate, or
• you are named on a valid HC2 certificate.

You can fill in a HC1 form to obtain the exemption if you don't have a partner etc to mean that you are living on just the CB ESA

Ring the DH Publications Orderline on 0845 610 1112, Textphone number 08700 102 870, to get an HC1 and pre-paid return envelope. Jobcentre Plus offices and NHS hospitals should also have HC1s available. Some GPs, dentists, opticians might also have them.

It is the same for claiming travel expences back from hospital they dont know nothing about ESA and wot you can claim back so they always put me down as on income support and so did my dentist .
