Fees

Your dental examination and treatments will require paying for.  All private treatments are paid directly by the patient.  NHS charges are either paid for by the UK government, or jointly by the patient and government.

You may be asked to pay a deposit for dental treatment and hygiene treatment.

If you are on Universal Credit. You may still need to pay for your NHS dental treatment.  Not everyone getting Universal Credit can claim free dental care.  If you claim free dental care that you're not entitled to, you could have to pay a penalty (currently £100 and the cost of your treatment).  Should you be waiting to find out about Unviveral Credit, the NHS recommendation is that you pay for your treatment and ask for an HC5 form - you may get a refund later from the NHS.  Please check at
