Answers:
Yes she will have to pay unless she has a benefit that will make her exempt.
Have a look at one of the NHS fee guides on line.
Not many NHS dentists will make them on that fee scale as it does not cover the time, effort and costs of the materials and lab fee. May have to hunt around to find one.
