If unemployed do you get free dental care if already at a practice.?
In the United Kingdom, there is no free dental care for adults, even if they are unemployed. You may be able to qualify for free or low-cost dental care if you are:
- Under 18 or in full-time education
- Pregnant or have given birth in the last 12 months
- Receiving Universal Credit
- On a low income
- Claiming certain welfare benefits
If you are unemployed and believe you may be eligible for free or low-cost dental care, you should contact your local NHS dental practice to inquire about your options or the NHS Helpline at 111
