NHS dental treatment

[Beswad]

Do you have to be on Jobseekers Allowance to qualify for NHS dental treatment?

[jno]

everybody qualifies for NHS dental treatment (as long as you can find a dentist)

[Traci66]

If you receive job seekers allowance you don't have to pay for treatment if you are registered with a dentist that takes on NHS patients.

[ummmm]

Do you mean free dental treatment? Is so, yes, I believe you have to be in receipt of certain benefits.

[Beswad]

I always thought you have to be registered unemployed or on benefits to qualify for NHS dental treatment.

[bednobs]

no, anyone can get NHS dental treatment

[Traci66]

I do not receive benefits but get dental treatment on the NHS, I think the price I have to pay is capped.

No. NHS dental treatment is subsidised so you still have to pay but at a cheaper rate. To get 'free' dental treatment you need to be on benefits.

My one of my tooth filling fell off last night when I was having my dinner. Thank you all for the quick answers, they have put me at ease from worrying having to fork out extortionate prices.

There should also be an emergency NHS dentistry service in your area which should treat you even if you're not registered.

If you follow the link chelle has given, bes, ring a local dentist and ask for that contact number.

You still have to pay for dental treatment if you are on Contribution Based JSA though
