Definition of time education for dental treatment?

Spendless

Can you be at University aged under 18 does anyone know? I know when I was a child, there was a very young child prodigy (Ruth something?) who went.

It makes no sense to me that you can be in full time education and aged 18 and still get free dental care but when the course stops you can't but you can start at University and still get it. That would mean in a calendar year, who can get it in June/July but not in August and then again in September/October until your 19th birthday.

I still think it's more likely it coincides with a stopping of one level of education but the wording isn't clear enough (IMO)

I'm at my own dentist in a months time, so will ask there about it.

If I’d chosen to go to uni I’d have been 16 and turn 17 shortly after starting. Wasn’t for me though, I chose full time employment instead.
