Exemption for pregnant women
Pregnant women and those who have had a baby in the last 12 months get free NHS dental treatment. You may have to show proof such as a maternity exemption certificate (MatEx), a maternity certificate (MATB1) or your baby’s birth certificate. However, if you have given birth more than 12 months ago you will not be entitled to free NHS dental treatment. Please note that your MatEx alone only gives exemption from NHS prescriptions.
Not available on the NHS
The NHS will not provide cosmetic treatment options such as teeth whitening or implants which are not clinically necessary.
Where treatment is clinically necessary the dentist will offer you a treatment option that is clinically appropriate.
If you choose to have alternative treatment options then you will have to pay privately for these.
