    Hi everyone, quick question on behalf of my neighbour.
    He wears dentures and a 'tooth' fell out of it today. Would he be entitled to have this repaired by his dentist? Or if he needed new dentures, is this covered by his Medical Card?

    He is entitled to a new upper and lower denture every 5 years. So if he had no repairs on his denture bit for 5 years he will get it fixed for free or can look for a completely new one.
