Hi bebe, if get a referral letter from the sch clinic, is to go to the sch dental center in outram/sgh or NDC right? But understand that the wait is long and also no subsidized rate unless opt for student dentist? Correct me if I m wrong please, still very blur abt this.

I have not received the letter from the school dental..supposedly to be this year. There is not subsidized rate for braces treatment even with school referral letter. And I heard that it is quite difficult to schedule appointments. Hence, we decided to go for pte orthodontist instead.

Wow, the cost is expensive. :yikes:


Has it always been that expensive? :skeptical:

How much for subsidized rate (students) via referral?

I dont think there is any subsidized rate for students, even with school referral. But I understand that payment is progressive, spread across over 1-2 years depending on the treatment. The fee will exclude x-rays and consultation; but will include the retainer.

Yes. My son and my niece have white streaks on their teeth. I read in the internet that it is because they swallowed toothpaste containing fluoride when they were young. Our teeth do not have white streaks because there was not many toothpaste containing fluoride when we were young. I guess prosperity and technology advancement have its downside.
