The free dental care covers band 1 ie some treatment, scale/polish & x-rays. It might also pick up oral cancer. This isn't communist it's something any civilised first world affluent country should be doing.

Are pre-payment meters more costly? How much of any "extra cost" is purely down to paying off previous debts?
The dental charges are already fixed, ie subsidised. In an affluent country, the people pay, not the state. A scale/polish isn't going to stop people getting to the stage of needing A&E, which this proposal is meant to be aimed at.
