Hi all. I have just looked for myself, for the same query as Sambuccaman. Information for all of you. If you are on Income-Based ESA, you ARE ENTITLED to free dental care.

Thanks for sharing @Paul64374.
There are a few other circumstances that can entitle someone to free NHS dental treatment too.0 -
I am on ESA I think its contribution based right now but apparently it goes back to income based, i also have PIP.
I applied to the NHS low income scheme and was given full cover for costs with a HC2 certificate. Have a look at:

(Problem is, i cant find a NHS dentist where i live! Ironic.)0 -

I've heard it's the same all over the country. I'm fortunate to have a NHS dentist but my daughter didn't and after several months of asking if they were taking on new NHS adult patients the manage told me that she would add her but only because she's my daughter.
