Found the following information:

Some Statistics of Singapore Doctors

Overall, more (about 60%) doctors are in public sector; but for dentists, only 21% are in public sector.

I wonder if CHAS covers dental services?

CHAS is an excellent scheme to take care of elderly and lower income groups. Thumb ups for this particular PAP policy.

dental appt booking at public dental clinics can easily wait one year
sometimes is quite a joke
not many dentists work in the public sector, mostly in private sector

some of the medical units at the upcoming connexion private hospital & medical suites were fully paid, not on rental basis

Ha! Ha!
So bad ah... i remember during my time going to Gov's dental clinic was quite fast. The clinic was at PEGU road. What happens to PEGU road now? The dental clinic of course was gone long , long ago, i suppose. That's why you have to wait for a year ma? It's all in the name of Progress for you and me and the "Nation".
The richer the Nation becomes, the better the Public Services?
Everything is really relative in comparison.
