Paediatric dental consultation fees at private clinics in Singapore typically run S$60–120 for a first visit. Common add-ons include X-rays (S$30–80 per set), fluoride treatment (S$30–60), fissure sealants (S$50–100 per tooth), fillings (S$80–250 per tooth depending on material), and extractions (S$80–200 per tooth). Nitrous oxide sedation, if offered, typically adds S$80–200 to the session. GST applies on private dental services. Routine dental procedures are generally not claimable under MediSave or MediShield Life. However, certain surgical dental procedures — such as surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth — may qualify for MediSave use under specific conditions. Families holding dental riders on their Integrated Shield Plans or standalone dental insurance policies should check their policy schedule and confirm direct billing with the clinic before the appointment.

Every legitimate dental clinic in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, and every practising dentist must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC). The SDC public register at sdc.gov.sg allows you to search by name to confirm registration status and any specialist accreditation in paediatric dentistry. Specialist paediatric dentists additionally hold a Fellowship of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) or an equivalent overseas specialist qualification recognised by the SDC. No regulatory licences have been listed on this KakiList profile at the time of publication. Before booking, contact the clinic directly to confirm the MOH Healthcare Services Licence reference and the treating dentist's SDC registration number. Both should be displayed at the clinic premises and available on request — if either is not readily provided, treat that as a reason to pause. For planned procedures involving sedation, also ask whether the anaesthetist or sedation provider holds the relevant MOH accreditation.

Routine paediatric dental care — check-ups, fillings, fluoride, fissure sealants, X-rays — is generally not covered by MediSave or MediShield Life Integrated Shield Plans. Families should budget these as out-of-pocket costs unless they hold a specific dental rider or standalone dental insurance policy. MediSave may be used for certain surgical dental procedures, such as surgical removal of impacted teeth, under the Medisave-approved procedures list — confirm with the clinic whether the planned procedure qualifies and what the claimable amount is. For families with dental insurance, confirm whether the clinic offers direct billing or whether you pay upfront and claim reimbursement later. For any planned procedure beyond a routine check-up, request an itemised cost estimate in writing that splits the expected out-of-pocket, insurance, and MediSave (if applicable) portions before the treatment date. This is the most reliable way to avoid billing surprises. See the full paediatric dentistry cost guide for Singapore →
