In considering whether to exempt certain groups of people from NHS dental charges, we would consider the degree of benefit it would bring to that group and whether creating a new exemption would set a precedent or consequences for charges for other services or groups of people with a specific health conditions.

Dental charges in Wales are significantly lower than in England. All children and a third of adults are exempt from paying NHS dental charges. Help is also available via the Help with Health Costs scheme.

I have recently agreed that for the second consecutive year, there will be no increase in dental charges from April.
