You will have to bring some form of proof of your benefit, as you have to sign an FP17 form and the dentist has to declare that he/she has seen your proof, your national number will not be classed as proof of exemption!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't need extra ID, tell your dentist and you then sign a form stating you are exempt, the same goes for prescriptions just fill out the back stating the reason you are exempt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
For prescriptions just sign the back, some dentists will ask for proof of eligibility, just show your signing on card or give your national insurance number!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You sign a declaration at the dentist or on the perscription!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
