ckt varies fr 4sgd (in hawker ctr)to 7 sgd (in food court )
some hawker dares to charge 4.50 for ckt!!

I go to JB for dental

It is less than one third the price.

If i need treatment urgently the wait at polyclinic is too long to make appointment. I am.left with private dental.or JB.

For serious.dental for me need to think too much just getit done in JB. The savings is worth the trip

There are thousands of Singaporeans who do this. Sometimes I go the clkmc can see many people registerjng with Singapore passport

Why go JB; Older generation got gov subsidy almost FOC ....

Subsidy one, they can do half past six jobs. The last tooth, they can just ignore it and let it rot. Outside dentists, you pay more, they smile and work harder.

when free always out one clove in mouth after eating.

"Out one clove" kill germs " ?  free dental service good loh Gov give one lah...

I've also thought about getting dental work done in Johor Bahru, but one thing that always makes me hesitate is follow-up care. If anything goes wrong after the procedure, it's not as easy to go back and get it fixed. For something like routine whitening, though, I'd rather look at options closer to home, like teeth whitening services in Lake County OH. At least that way, any touch-ups or issues can be handled easily.

Knn ... Question openly for what? To cut cheaperer dental service from people ...

The Singapore Dental Association needs to update its code of conduct. The price gouging by dentists in Singapore has gone on for long enough.
