Hi @keith0161

Welcome to the community, how are you? 

Firstly regarding the free proscriptions, there are quite a lot of eligibility criteria that are listed for those, so I would advise reading this NHS page to see if any of them match your circumstances.

Secondly, I found this information on the NHS website about dental care:

You're entitled to free NHS dental treatment if you or your spouse (including civil partner) receive:

• Income Support
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
• Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
• Universal Credit (in certain circumstances)

Does this help?

If you're claiming either New style ESA or Contributions based these do not entitle you to them.
