Last trip back in April, I had been to the government polyclinic for a dental check-up which cost me a MYR1 (USD0.26) registration fee. They were ultra-comprehensive in marking down the condition of all teeth and the work required. They booked me an apppointment three months later which timed well with this visit.
Today I had three fillings (top and bottom molar and left and a wisdom tooth on right), scale and polish for MYR8. I believe it was MYR2 for each filling and another MYR2 for the scale and polish. My old Malaysian dentist in town would have charged perhaps MYR80 for each service and in New Zealand it would have been NZD200 or more for a filling only! I’m so lucky to be able to get dental treatment for peanuts.
