I just came back from a dental clinics and I have paid total of S$420/- for

- Detal consumables (not too sure what is this for) - S$7/-
- Consultation - S$35/-
- 3 x fillings - tooth colour (surface) - S$240/-
- Scaling & Polishing (with Fluoride Treatment)-S$110 + 7% GST.

Do you think it’s expensive?

I haven’t visited a dentist in around 4 years and I just checked my gums. I think I’ve got what looks like gum disease as they are puffy swollen and sometimes just bleed for no reason.

What should I do now?

Totally true Craig,

laziness not gum disease or tooth decay, is the No.1 reason why oral health deteriorates rapidly in people.

Cos if you’re conscious about taking the time for preventive cleaning measures as well as get educated by the dentist, I’m confident that many of the teeth that were lost did not have to take that road out.

Yes it is true that even though you not suffering any pain, you still have to go for a dental check up.

In many cases people may suffer from dental diseases due to sheer laziness and lack of knowledge towards proper dental care, with mostly the children and at times adults who often do not pay enough attention to teeth care. They fail to realize that healthy teeth and gum is extremely important to keeping you healthy and sound. Proper dental health is not only important to our healthy physical looks; it is essential to the well being of the entire body.
