NHS Dental Costs
NHS dental treatment in England uses a simple three-band pricing system. Band 1 covers examinations, diagnosis, and preventive care such as scale and polish, and costs £27.40.

Many groups are entitled to free NHS dental treatment, including children under 18, those under 19 in full-time education, pregnant women, new mothers (within 12 months of birth), and people receiving certain benefits such as Universal Credit, Income Support, or Pension Credit. If you are unsure whether you qualify, ask the practice or check the NHS website.
