I’m using CHAS and possibly dental insurance, so I’d like to know if fluoride treatment is claimable. This will help me decide when to proceed.
Fluoride treatment is generally considered a preventive dental procedure and in Singapore it is usually not covered under CHAS for adults. CHAS subsidies mainly apply to basic dental services such as consultations, extractions, fillings and scaling, while preventive add-ons like fluoride application are typically paid out of pocket. At Ashford Dental Centre, the fluoride treatment fee is $45 (excluding 9% GST), so you can plan this cost in advance without surprises.
For dental insurance, coverage depends on your individual policy. Some private insurance plans or corporate dental benefits may partially cover preventive treatments, while others do not. The team at Ashford Dental Centre can help explain the charges clearly and advise whether fluoride treatment is beneficial for your oral health, so you can decide the right time to proceed based on both your dental needs and budget.
