Is the NHS free?
I switched from my private dentist to a NHS dentist recently because after 18 I don't get free treatment any more.
However, I was charged £41 for a filling at the NHS, which is still cheaper than private but not totally free like I always thought the NHS was free?
This is my first time using the NHS, I'm British and have lived in the UK all my life.
So my question is, if I go to my GP and get treatment and need surgery, do I have to pay also? I have an ingrown toenail I need checked out.

You still pay for dental treatment. Read this http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1781.aspx?CategoryID=74&
Any operation on the NHS will be free.
If you're a student you can apply to get free dental treatment. It's the HC1 or 5 form or something - ask at reception.

A Uni student or college? Or both?
If so, does that mean I can get a refund on my £41?

You don't have to be a student. Just someone on a low income.
