The Importance of Making Appointments at Government Dental Clinics
Common treatments at dental clinics include scaling, tooth extraction, and fillings. While you can obtain these services at private clinics, the cost is significantly higher. For example, scaling could cost between RM80 to RM150 at a private clinic, whereas it is just RM2 at a government clinic.
Is It Necessary to Make an Appointment at a Government Dental Clinic?
Due to the patient volume, Government Health Clinics are often crowded. As a result, walk-in patients might face long wait times, especially during peak hours. Therefore, the most effective way to avoid extensive waiting is to pre-schedule your appointment.
However, some government dental clinics might not be as busy and can potentially accept walk-in patients. It is advisable to try walking in first, and if that is not accepted, then proceed to use the MySejahtera app to schedule your appointment online.
The “Janji Temu” (Appointment) system for dental health examinations started in May 2023, as announced by the Minister of Health. Nonetheless, the ‘walk-in’ method is still in continuation at government dental health clinics.
