Does anyone knows if sinkie has any subsidy for dental services in general? from the normal cleaning, to treatment and tooth extraction?

saw this medisave thingy,
https://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_...mes_subsidies/medisave/Withdrawal_Limits.html

does day surgeries include tooth extraction?
would it be covered if its for braces/invisalign?

I went to QM dental to do wisdom tooth extraction however my case need a small incision to extract the tooth out. So that is considered surgery and I paid thru medisave.

National Health Group Polyclinics. The waiting time is siao. Popular ones like AMK must wait more than one year. But really super affordable. I think $20-30 for scaling and polishing. Don't take my word for it. Last I went was quite some time ago :s13:

Yes, there is subsidy. Just went for my appointment this Monday at Tao Payoh Polyclinic.

$130 bills, pays $67.

However, only basic service has subsidy.

Extraction has subsidy, not sure about braces.

Need to get appointment first. They don't accept last min walk-in.

Affordable and Comprehensive Dental treatment for public
Affordable and Comprehensive Dental treatment for public

As Year 3/4 students, we are opening our services to the public to provide comprehensive dental treatment suited for their dental conditions. We are open to everyone, as long as they are suitable and willing to commit to treatment.

Our treatment costs are significantly lower than that of private dental clinics
For instance:
- Fillings (Private clinics charge $40-80/tooth) (NUS undergraduates would charge $5-8/tooth)
- Porcelain Dental crowns (Private clinics charge $1,000-1,500/crown) (NUS Undergraduate would charge $150-200/crown)
-Cleaning of teeth ($10)
- Dentures
- Root Canal Treatment( eg if your previous dentist told you that you need root canal treatment. or if you notice your tooth is discoloured/greyish, it might be dead and needs root canal treatment)
- Extractions (eg. wisdom teeth)

other chargeable fees
- x ray for diagnostic purposes (about $15)
- examination and diagnosis and treatment planning ( $3)

As we aim to provide comprehensive dental care, time commitment would be a factor to consider. As such, patients should preferably be retirees, house makers, unemployed individuals or those with flexible working hours. Dental treatment would only be done on weekdays either morning or in the afternoon.

Please bear in mind that all treatments will be undertaken by qualified and supervised NUS undergraduates (year 3/4). All procedures and treatments are closely supervised by experienced and certified Doctors, who will verify, check on and approve said treatments.

If interested, please PM me. or e mail me dentalstudentnus @ gmail.com

Thank you!

generally, there are 3 ways to get dental subsidies
  1. dental insurance
  2. MediSave
  3. CHAS, pioneer generation (PG) or merdeka generation (MG) cards
#1: will depend on the dental insurance that you bought, or that your company provides

#2: MediSave is only claimable for treatment that involve surgery for medical reasons. so for example, wisdom tooth surgery can claim. but things like braces and invisalign cannot claim cuz its a cosmetic procedure (i.e. if you vain you pay yourself hahaha)

#3: CHAS is dependent on your household income. PG/MG cards dependent on your age. it's quite complicated if you ask me. can refer to the table here for more info: https://idental.com.sg/chas-dental-subsidies/#subsidies-for-dental-services things like simple tooth extraction, x-rays and scaling and polishing are subsidised.

many ways to get subsidies. just need to check beforehand :)
