NHS dental treatment.

I had a tooth out yesterday and cost me £47 and I have got to see the dentist again in three months. My question is that I work part-time 10.5 hours per week, can I get some help paying for my dental treatment?
Thanks in-advance.

I may be wrong but im sure that unless you are claiming certain benefits which means you are exempt from prescription and dental charges, you have to pay full NHS charges for any treatment.
My husband doesnt work and he cannot claim benefits but STILL has to pay for his dental treatment!0 -
You may be able to get help via the NHS Low Income Scheme.

Pick up a form hc1 from doctors, dentists libraries etc. and send it off. You may get help on the grounds of low income. Keep your receipt as if you do get help you may be able to claim money back.0
