How can I increase line 29 on 1040 to include dental premiums if that field filled in from entering the 1095-A question and I'm self employed.

I made more self-employment income than I expected and lost my state health insurance subsidy.  The program filled in the amount of the health premium I will be paying on line 29 (from my entry of the form 1095-A statement).  However, I also have dental premiums and I don't know how to add these to the amount reported on line 29 to get the full benefit of paying premiums.

Form 1095-A information entered in the Health Insurance tab will automatically transfer to your Schedule C if you link it to your business but any medical or dental insurance which was not entered and accounted to your self-employment can be entered in your self-employment section.
