They can't get access to dentists but at least it's free.

I have a dentist, in fact the 6 month family checkup is next week
It's not free, costs something like £50

That's just for a basic stuff like extractions. Anything else covered falls into a more expensive band.

£50 is checkup for the family. Fillings and crowns etc are extra - £65 for a filling, £280 for a crown/denture/etc

It's not free. They have universal medical "free at point of treatment", not universal dental...

You know kinda like the US doesn't have universal healthcare or dental

You can get heavily subsidised dentistry on the NHS, most adults fall off that register and have to go private if they don't keep up the appointments, though.
