This only works for NHS dental treatment. If you go to a private dentist, you’re on your own. And private dentists charge like they’re selling you a gold tooth. So, stick with the NHS.
Also, the free treatment covers things like fillings, root canals, and crowns. But it doesn’t cover purely cosmetic stuff like teeth whitening. Sorry, you’ll have to dip into your own pocket for that Instagram smile.
Most importantly, your UC claim has to be active and you need to meet the earnings rules. If you get a pay rise or a new job, the free treatment might vanish. But you can still get reduced costs with a HC3 certificate.
