Up to what age do children get free dental care in the UK?

My step daughter is 13, is she still entitled to free dental care?

Many Thanks

yes she is.
16 years old if they leave full time education and go into work or 19 years old if they stay in fully time education.

   Definitely until she is 16 - as she will still be in compulsory full time education.

   Yes, she's entitled to it. She will be entitled to it until she is 16. If she then goes to college, she will still be entitled to it.

   Children and teenagers are exempt from NHS Dental Charges until they are 18 years of age, this will only apply if they are 18 and still in Full Time Education.
   Once they turn 19 they will have to start paying even if they are still in FTE!
   Check up's have always been free for children/Teens
