Who can get free NHS dental treatment or help with dental costs

Some people can get free NHS dental appointments and treatment, or only need to pay part of the cost.

Who can get free NHS dental appointments and treatment in England

You can get free NHS dental appointments and treatment if:

  • you're aged under 18, or under 19 and in full-time education
  • you're pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months
  • you've had a stillbirth in the past 12 months
  • you're getting treatment in an NHS hospital from a hospital dentist (but you may still need to pay for dentures or bridges)
  • you receive War Pension Scheme payments, or Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments and the treatment is for your accepted disability

You can also get free NHS dental treatment if you or your partner receive certain benefits including:

  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
  • Pension Credit Guarantee Credit with Savings Credit
  • Universal Credit – but only if your income is below a certain amount

If you or your partner receive benefits that mean you can get free dental treatment from the NHS, your dependents aged under 20 can also get free dental treatment.
