Answers:
dental treatment is free if you under 18 or claim some kind of benifit, , but its so hard for anyone to get a nhs dentist, some people go private, even kids, and have to pay loads
with other health matters , yes doctors / hospital treatment is free , you have to pay for a prescription which is about 7 pounds!. for operations there is a huge waiting list , sometimes 10 years for non serious stuff, so some people do go private and get seen quicker!. we do have some insurence schemes in place but thats optional
hope i helped xWww@Answer-Health@Com

appointments in my dentist r usually within 2weeks, less if its urgent!.
NHS do pay 4 braces,etc they wont pay for the more exspensive things like veniers, or implants!. but will do crowns and bridges etc!.
there would b a lot of horrible mouths running around without the NHS, as ppl would not beable to afford treatment privately as its so expensive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I work in a dentist you need to be under 18 to have braces also if you dont work you dont pay a penny in this country for any nhs matters why do you think we have so many refugees our goverment are a bunch of tossers also people come into my work just pretend they are on benifits i dont mind it aint coming out my pocketWww@Answer-Health@Com

For dental care there is 2 kinds on the NHS!. If you are unemployed you dont pay a penny!. But if you work then you have to pay a contribution!.
It is very hard to find a dentist who will take on NHS patients anymore, so most people go private!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Um, slight technical point, but I think you have to live in the UK and pay taxes there before you can have NHS treatment - but I could be wrong - knowing UK we would give NHS to everyone for free!Www@Answer-Health@Com

when you visit the orthodontist she/he will have a set of pictures from 1-12 (6 on each side) 1-6 is classed as normal and 7-12 classed as server enough for nhs treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A) Depends on where you live in UK
B) Usually No, unless you are under 16Www@Answer-Health@Com
