Whenever we talk about dental services, we think of the dollar sign. Almost everyone I know thinks that visiting the dentist is not only scary but very expensive. So, many do not make regular visits to the dentist.
Well, oral health is important and not taking care of our teeth might result in costly dentures or implants in future. I am sure there are other things that could go wrong but I will leave the horror stories to the dentists.
A single implant costs $5,000, I found out. A visit to the dentist for cleaning plus a filling would cost less than $100.
$5,000 could pay for 50 visits to the dentist! If the visits take place half yearly, $5,000 is enough for 25 years!
Wait a minute. Cleaning plus a filling for less than $100? Yes, that is correct.
If you are a Singaporean like I am, you can get good and relatively cheap basic dental services in Singapore.
Seriously, look at my bills from recent visits to the dentist:
 |
| $30.20. |
 |
| $35.50 |
Where got $100?
OK, AK's maths fail.
That's less than $70!
Did I get your attention?

Visit these websites for more information: NHGP and Singhealth. Yup. Polyclinics.

No welfare in Singapore?
Well, this is another something which Singaporeans could easily take advantage of and we should.
Save a chunk of change while saving our teeth? Sounds good to me.
