He gets no unemploymeny benefit cos I`m working more than 16 hours a week, he has enough NI stamps so doesn`t need to sign on . This is one reason why unemployment figures are wrong as loads of people don`t need to sign on now , Ros xx |

I'm on income support and generally the dental check ups and treatment are free. At one stage the practice was considering charging NHS patients for check ups if they wanted a check up more frequently than once every 2 years but this never happened. |

For many people all this is rather academic, as it assumes you can find an NHS dentist in the first place. |
