NHS Dental treatment and on JSA

mark1e

If I am on jobseekers allowance - can anyone tell me or guide me as to
what is free on NHS treatment and what isnt?

I got check ups etc free. I dont think you can get white fillings (although I think they gave me one so maybe there is a limit.)

if you post on job seekers board they will tell you (or phone your dentist)

You get free NHS dental treatment on income based JSA but not on contributions based JSA, only at NHS practices who accept you as a NHS patient.

Treatment is only what is clinically necessary to secure dental health ie nothing cosmetic, and in many cases is simplest treatment ie more likely a bridge than a denture.
