NHS TREATMENTS

NHS charges vary from year to year so call us to find out the current charges. Further information on NHS treatment and current charges can be found here. https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/dentists/Pages/nhs-dental-charges.aspx In some cases, individuals may be exempt from paying for NHS treatment. To qualify for exemption you must fall in to one of the below categories and provide proof of the same:

• Currently pregnant
• Have had a baby in the last 12 months
• Under 18 years of age
• 18 and in full-time education

You’re included in an award of Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit guarantee credit or Universal credit (check entitlement after October 31 2015)

• You’re named on, or entitled to, a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate
• You’re named on a valid HC2 certificate

If you’re named on a valid HC3 certificate, you may not have to pay for all your NHS dental treatment. If you are unsure whether you are exempt from NHS dental care please speak to a member of our reception team who will be able to assist you. Please note that false declaration may result in a fine being imposed by the NHS. Heybridge Dental Practice will not be held accountable for patients falsely claiming an exemption.
