Dentists are not covered in Australia, but are in the UK. I had to go to a free Dental Hospital, which does emergency work for free.

Again not all dental work is free in the uk either.

I think it depends. There are NHS dentists and private dentists. I think the private ones' main advantage is that they have shorter waiting lists.

People pay for treatment under the NHS. The cost is very much less than private dentists. Some people (limited income) get free treatment.

Children get free treatment.

Finding an NHS dentist can be tricky.
