Thanks Schweppes and Wildboys.


Just called the School Dental Services. Next available date is in September. Think too long a wait.

Think I will wait a couple of weeks to see if his milk teeth start giving way. If they do then no problem, if not, then looks like no choice, gotta go private.

DS milk teeth is starting to give way. Phew, no need to extract afterall. Now the concern is on DD. Her two front teeth came off since last year and till now, 1yr+ already and they don't seem to be growing. Hehe. She looks pretty cute without them. Told her to get her school dentist to check, the last time they checked, which was earlier this year, the dentist said normal. But now another 6 mths already and still no sign of the teeth ever growing. Now waiting for school to start then she can go get them looked at again.

Hi,


Any of your kids seeing dentist in primary school? Did the dentist do the scaling and polishing for them? If yes, how many times per year? And also do they inform the parents before they give any treatment eg. fillings, extractions?

Hi Chimes,

The dentist will check on pri sch kids once or twice a year. Scaling and polishing will be done. If there is a need for any treatment like extraction or filling, it’ll be done on the spot. There are so many students , it is not possible for the dentist to call up parents before treatment. If you are not comfortable with this, you can opt out of this dental service. The sch will issue a letter to parents at the beginning of the year informing parents of the dental service. You can choose to opt out.

Dear parent,


Any dentist recommend for doing the gum root planing who charge at reasonable price.

I opt out when he was in Pri 1, think of rejoining but not sure if it is possible. Anyway he is seeing private dentist, I forgot to ask the dentist if I should bring him for S&P every half year during the last visit.
