A few minutes ago a question was asked aboiut NHS dentistry and Isobel answered that her husband got it free because he was over 60. Does anyone else above 60 get it free?. My wife and I are over 60 and we still pay - £42 on my last visit for a check up and a tiny filling.
NHS dentistry - is it free.?
An NHS dentist charges at NHS rates, slightly cheaper than private. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and pensioners have to pay, all they get free is eyesight tests.
Reply:its free for pensioners
Reply:There are still a few dentists who accept NHS patients, but they are few and far between, try the NHS direct website. Good luck.
Reply:Depends which part of the UK you are in.
With devolution Wales and Scotland fund healthcare differently.
To really rub it in there are no prescription charges in Wales!!

Reply:This is useful, take a look.
Reply:No, it isn't free. SOMEONE is paying for it.
Reply:NHS dentistry is NOT automatically free for those over the age of 60. It is free for pensioners who receive Pension Credit (and if you're not sure if you get this you probably don't).
