NHS - Dental Treatment

[shorty17]

Hi,
I was just wondering if T1D pay for dental treatment by the NHS?

I have to get my wisdom teeth removed and was asked if I pay for my treatment, is there something for us type 1s where we don't pay for dental treatment?

Thanks

I don't believe so, apart from prescription meds we have to pay. Unless some one know, for certain, otherwise.

Only those on certain benefits and children get free NHS dental treatment. Everyone else pays the subsidised fees.

Read through this @shorty17 and it shows who is exempt.
