Expensive Dental in SG with Alamak Patient

I was looking for a cheap and good dental service. My coming to 1 month maid has a swollen gum and suspect its wisdom tooth... siao liao loh.... Singapore dental is damm expensive...
My very "gao" brother ask me to call the agency to "question" them why they bo check the maid dental health before sending her... ?!?!!!?/?? .. I ask my brother, they got medical check up lar... but where got check dental one... he say "Just Push the blame to them"... ?!!!?!. I wonder what has SG education system done to these younger generation.... its like so "unreasonable"... I told my bro... u know what... when u push the blame to the agency, the agency will push the blame to the maid... end up the maid will suffer, then not happy, then how to work for u? but youngster of their age dun think so far one... they just want quick solution.

I was searching online for cheap dental but all cost a bomb... average about 50 to 80 buck for just cleaning services. I call up polyclinic... to my shocking surprise, non citizen like maid , the basic cleaning cost 80 buck!!!! faint!!! more x than pte clinic loh...

I am still looking for a cheap and good one... not only for the maid, but also for myself... any recommendation?... I got a good and cheap one in amk but damm long q...

Just as I was searching online, I saw this blog of a dentist... he is damm funny... he share about his experience of Alamak Patient... got ANG MO alamak somemore...kekeke

Extracts of some of my fav!
Case 2 :
Dentist: Have you ever been seriously ill or hospitalised?
AP: Aiyoh, I come here to pull teeth only you ask this kind of question.
Dentist: I need to take your medical history.
AP: Pull teeth only ask so much for what?

Case 6 :
Dentist: Your dentures should be ready after 2 more visits. Please wait outside to make payment and get your next appointment.
(Alamak patient walks off without paying or making appointment. Turns up one month later asking for denture)
Dentist: Your dentures could have been ready by now, but you did not turn up for the other 2 appointments. We were going to give you the appointment dates, but you left.
AP: But I stay uptairs only what.
Dentist: ????
AP: So when can my denture be ready?
Dentist: After today's visit, there will be one more visit.
AP: When is that?
Dentist: One weeks' time. Please wait outside to make payment and get the exact date and time.
(AP disappears without paying. A few days later, AP sees dentist at a public place)
AP (shouting loud enough to make heads turn): Ei, where is my denture? Why so long huh?
Dentist: ???!!!

Case 7 :
AP: Ei, that day you pulled out a tooth for me hor, you broke something inside ley.
Dentist: There's nothing broken inside.
AP: Who say nothing. I touch the hole got one sharp sharp thing.
Dentist: That's your bone. Leave it alone and your gums will grow over it. Keep touching it and it may get infected.
AP: Where got bone? This one must be broken tooth lah.
Dentist: If you insist that it is a broken tooth, then I can't help you.
AP: What you can't help? You must take out broken tooth for free ley. If not I complain to ministry then you know.
Dentist: I can refer you to a specialist if you want a second opinion.
AP: Free or not?
Dentist: No, you'll have to pay the specialist.
AP: How come? You broken the tooth I still must pay ah?
Dentist: ???!!!

Case 9 :
Dentist: The surgery is done. Bite on the gauze till the bleeding stops, don't smoke, don't drink ...
AP: Thanks for telling me all that. Really appreciate it, but I'm sorry I'm not going to follow your instructions. I just have to smoke and drink.
Being alamak is not restricted to locals. The trying-to-be-a-cool dude who said all that (and refused to take his 5 days' MC) is an ang moh alamak.

Case 10 :
AP: Do you sell bleaching gel?
Dentist: We provide a tooth bleaching service.
AP: Can't you just let me take the gel home and do it myself?
Dentist: You need bleaching trays for safety and for greater effectiveness.
AP: Come on, I can handle it. Just sell me the gel.
Dentist: We can't just sell you the gel without constructing the trays for you.
AP: But I don't need them.
Dentist: Yes, you do.
AP: I just want the gel.
Dentist: We don't sell it.
This is another trying-to-be-smart ang moh alamak.

Case 13 :
Alamak Patient: My maid just extracted one tooth last week. Now she say pain again.
Dentist extracts another carious tooth for maid.
AP: How come must pay again?
Dentist: Another tooth was extracted.
AP: That means last week you pulled out wrong tooth lah. Why must pay? Why this time not free? Wah, last week paid so much, this week still must pay.
Dentist: ??!!

Case 14 :
AP caller: Hello, what time you all close tonight huh?
Recep: 9.00pm
AP caller: OK, I want to come at 9.00pm
Recep: I'm sorry, we're closed at 9.00pm
AP caller: That means I come at 9.00pm you all finished with all other patients already so I don't have to wait right?
Recep: ??!!

Case 15 :
AP: Can I see now?
Recep: I'm sorry, we have a patient coming any minute now.
AP: I got appointment what.
Recep: Yes, but your appointment was 9.00am. It's 4.00pm now.
AP: I was busy this morning what. Come now also must wait ah?
Recep: I'm sorry, our 4 o'clock patient has just arrived.
AP: OK, I go off now. When I come back make sure you see me immediately.
Recep: That's provided we can finish this case when you come back.
AP: I don't care!
Recep: ??!!

Case 23 :
Dentist: Mr Ang, the filling I place on your tooth after root canal treatment is just temporary. As there's not much of your tooth left, you need to do a crown over the tooth if you want it to function normally.
AP: OK, OK, I sure do one. Don't worry.
3 months later ...
AP: £%&*^! That filling you did for me dropped out already. Why so lousy?
Dentist: Mr Ang, as you may recall ...
AP: Can't even trust you with $50 thing expect me to trust you with $500 thing.
Dentist: ???!!!
