I am almost 30. I have been made redundant and am going back to Uni to do a teacher training degree. As I will now be a student, am I entitled to free dental treatment?
I live in Wales so already get free prescriptions.

no if your under 18 and still in full time education then yes, b ut your just a lil past 18, so i dont think so sorry. try getting in touch with a solisitor, as you get your first half hour advise free. so its worth a try.

if you are in receipt of benefits then yes. if you are using your redundancy money to live on then sorry no.

Yes you might be. There’s a little known of form (called a HC1) that you can get from doctors surgeries and pharmacies that will means test you for free dental care etc.

You get nothing for nothing off this ( or any other ) government.

In my dentist in Wales you have to be under 19 and be in full time education to get free treatment. As you are almost 30, you won’t be eligible unless your dentist is any different.

yes if you are a full time student.
