Medical exemption card?

I have a medical exemption card for prescriptions does this mean i can claim anything on dental treatment ?
Answer:
For dental work you can get a HC2 or HC3 form from your doc or dentist to help cover costs !
No, because the government isn't that kind. They will say you can use this to that for only a certain amount of money. Uncle Sam isn't nice because uncle sam was so nice to people that he is in trillions of dollars in debt.
Hi, no sorry it only applies to prescriptions. If you're on means-tested benefits (like Income Support) you'll get help with dental treatment but Medical Exemption alone does not qualify you for help with dental treatment.You can also apply to the NHS for help (sorry I cant remember the name of the form) if you're on a low income but otherwise you have to pay.
Try this link to the Department of Healthhttp://www.dh.gov.uk/en/policyandguidanc...You will also find information on how to claim if you are entitled to help with costs towards dental and optical fees.
If your exemption card only exempts you from prescriptions then the answer is no you do not get free dental treatment.
To be entitled to free dental treatment you have to have one of the following and only these make you exempt:-Aged under 18
-Aged 18 in full-time education
-Pregnant, or have had a baby in the 12 months before treatment starts
-An NHS in-patient and the treatment is carried out by the hospital
-You are getting, or your partner gets Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or Pension Credit Guarantee Credityou are entitled to, or named on, a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificateyou are named on a valid HC2 certificate.If you are named on a valid HC3 certificate you may be eligible for partial help with dental costs. If you think you qualify for free dental treatment please see below:
Use form HC1 to claim for full (HC2) or partial (HC3) help with NHS dental costs. HC1 forms are available from your Job centre Plus office or by calling 0845 8501166 or 08701 555 455.Also make sure your dentist is charging you NHS rates they are as follows:Band1 拢15.90 - Check up, x-rays, scale and polish
Band 2 拢43.60 - All of band 1 plus fillings extractions etc
Band 3 拢194 - All of band 1 + 2 plus crowns, bridges, and denture work.
Hope this is helpful.

You can get free dental treatment within reason. It will not cover you for cosmetic procedures such as: bleaching, veneers and implants. Fillings, crowns, scale and polish, dentures and other general procedures will be covered by the exemption card. Hope this helps.
There is no disease based exemption from dental charges. Depending on your income and circumstances you may however get help with dental charges for other reasons.
