If my daughter is 20 years old, full time student and working part time. can we claim her as "other dependant" for medical and dental costs not covered by our insurance?

[lorheron]

she is also been diagnosed with a mental disability but does not prevent her from relatively normal everyday living. can we claim her as a caregiver amount also?

Yes, absolutely.  And the costs of medical claimed on behalf of your daughter are reduced by 3% of her net income, rather than your net income.
