Cheap Dentists and Dental Clinics in Singapore – 10 Cheap Dental Clinics for Regular Checkups

We’ve all been told to go to the dentist for check-ups every 6 months, but if we all followed this advice to the letter, we’d be left with a hole in our pockets, because cheap dentists aren’t easy to find in Singapore.

If you take particularly good care of your teeth, you can extend the check-up to every 18 months or 2 years. However, regular check-ups are worth it because you want to catch problems like tooth decay early. If you can’t treat them, they will be much more expensive to treat.

So there’s no getting around it – you should visit your dentist regularly for a basic check-up and teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing). Here are 10 of the cheapest dental clinics in Singapore where you can do this.
