<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Ms Ho Suit Keng's letter on Wednesday, 'Why the long wait for dental care at govt clinics?'
I had a similar experience when I badly needed a root canal done and the National Dental Centre told me to wait at least six months. I was in excruciating pain.
I went to a private dental clinic and was attended to immediately. Also, the cost at the private clinic was much less than that quoted by the National Dental Centre.
Charges at government dental clinics are not always lower than those at private clinics.
