Hi @uncfingers3,
Disability Rights UK have a useful factsheet on their website about the different exemptions from dental treatment, perscriptions etc. which might be of interest to you.
I have also moved this post into our 'Ask a Benefits Advisor' category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to advise further.

Hi uncfingers3
dental treatment is free for those who receive income-based benefits such as Income Support and income-based Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Low rate PIP is not among these, and will not entitle you to free dental in itsself, but it may be that as a result of the PIP you should be getting some other benefits.
If you want to post all your household income and capital then we can do a benefit check, however if you don't fancy posting that online (and I would understand if you didn't!) then you could go to a Money Advice Service or Citizens Advice who could probably do you a benefit check - also local councils sometimes have benefit check services for people on PIP.
You could also have a look online at https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/AboutYou or https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/AboutYou
Hope this helps!
