Does my maternity exemption certificate cover me for the dental hygienist appointment?

Yes you get 12 months free dental care through the NHS. So from when you're pregnant until your baby turns 1
Ok perfect thank you x

Only if its an NHS appointment. If its private then no it wont x

Normally it dosnt cover you for this. I worked in a dentist previously. It's because dental hygienist is a private appointment. I've not been able to have this appointment through the nhs x

I go to an NHS dentist and have visited the hygienist twice for free - once when I was 33 weeks pregnant and once when she was 6 months old x

My dentist appointment was covered but I had to pay for the hygienist x
Thank you everyone. Just another question, if receiving Universal Credit what do I show them? Is it just the bit on the payments page? x
