Quick ask - I know you are entitled to free eye tests, is the same regarding doing to the dentist and dental treatment?

Unfortunately no, there are (as far as I know) no concessions for being diabetic as far as teeth are concerned :(
 
No there isn't

The only concession is if you are entitled via the low income support or free dental treatment under unemployment benefits...

If you have a NHS Tax Credit Exemption Certificate ( it's actually a plastic card) you are entitled to free dental care, I have one, but because of a lot of work that I needed, I couldn't have it done at my dentist free,I would of had to pay as a private patient, the other alternative was treatment at Guys Hospitalso I opted for that and I still attend.

Its free if your pregnant and the first year of your childs life.

But they wont let you take your child with you, so thats a waste of time. 😛
