Daughter hits 18 in march and will be then off to uni in september. Do you still get "free" NHS dentistry whilst in education or does it just stop?

As Percy says, it’s free until 19 if you’re in full t8me education. After that it’s normal nhs charges unless she qualifies for an exemption.

Over 19 if you fill out an HC1 form and make out she’s sufficiently poor enough she might get an hc2 or hc3 certificate which removes all or some of the nhs charges
