Hi. From August this year Spain activated a NHS type system for everyone residing in Spain.You will need to register with a dentist the same as the UK and pay for treatment as you need it.

With regards to right to live in Spain, if we leave the EU with no deal then we will be subject to conditions that other non EU residents have to meet. The new healthcare system has nothing to do with EU membership, it is available to all residents, legal or otherwise. Check out the Citizens Advice Bureau Spain on Facebook, there is lots of info and you can ask questions of legal experts.
