Hi @sbaird50, welcome to the community!
I've found this information about entitlement to free NHS dental treatment, it mentions that income-related ESA could mean you're entitled. It might be worth having a look to check if any of it applies to you.
I hope this helps! -
if you don't have an IR element then you do need to pay for NHS services
If you are on a low income the you can apply for an HC2 cert which does cover dental and other services

hi
If I'm not on income related (not sure if I am) how do I get on it or is it not possible.

IR element should be on your award letter
IR depends on household income and savings
Usually you will have to fill in an ESA3 financial check form

Just for information, ESA income or contribution related benefits are based on your National a Insurance Contribution Records. Pleased correct me if i'am wrong.

You can have either on their own or a combination
