Hi @Sylvia123456 - & welcome to the community. Unfortunately PIP doesn't qualify you for free dental help, or eye tests automatically. However, if you have a low income such help may be available in full, or partially. Please see: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs/nhs-low-income-scheme-lis/

Dependent on your age (over age 60 & you can get free eye tests), or condition, you may qualify for free eye tests anyway. Please see: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/opticians/free-nhs-eye-tests-and-optical-vouchers/

About dental care: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/dental-costs/get-help-with-dental-costs/

With dental care, the problem may be in finding a NHS dentist. Speaking from personal opinion, I was unable to find one near me, so had to go privately. However they provided help with a dental care plan I pay into monthly. I also receive PIP, but this didn't help with this unfortunately.
