NHS dentist... Do you get free treatment within 2 months of work?

Hi, can anyone help shed light on this please? I'm having a new crown done at the moment. I pay for it, but on the NHS bracket (so 282 pounds). I've read online that I could now have another treatment, as recommended by my dentist, in the next two months for free? I have one or two 'extra' teeth that my dentist has in the past recommended I could think about having removed, so does that mean that if I book this in in the next two months, I wouldn't have to pay anything for it, or does this only apply to further treatment that is directly related to my first treatment? Thanks!

No. The further treatment within 2 months relates to unforeseen treatment that could not be planned for at the examination appointment for example if you’d bitten on a nut and a bit of tooth had broken. The repair of that tooth would be free.
If you want the ‘extra teeth’ extracted then you would need to have them added to the current treatment plan
