Dentist things

OK, so I haven't been to the dentist in a couple of years (not my fault, I've made three appointments and they've all been cancelled because the dentists went on holiday/double booking etc) and I'm trying to get an appointment this summer for a check up. So I'm not too knowledgeable about these things...
I chipped my front tooth a couple of years ago - not very badly, but enough that it bothers me. I've got an HC2 form for being on a low income, which gets me free dental treatment - do you reckon I could get it fixed on the NHS? My bottom ones are a bit wonky too, but I'm 21 now and it might be a bit late, and they're not ever so bad anyway.
So yeah, anyone know what I'm entitled to for free?

If you can find an NHS dentist which have space for you, then probably. May have to wait a while though.

you'll be able to get the chipped tooth sorted on the nhs provided you find a dentist as nabzp said, but if you wanted your lower teeth straightened, you'll need to do it privately
