Understanding CHAS Dental Subsidies
If you're a Singapore Citizen looking to reduce your dental care costs, the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) offers valuable subsidies at participating clinics. These CHAS dental subsidies make essential dental treatments more affordable for you and your family—especially for those holding CHAS Blue, Orange, Pioneer Generation (PG), or Merdeka Generation (MG) cards.
At EZ Dental Care, with clinics in Bedok North and Geylang Bahru, we accept CHAS cards and are committed to helping patients access subsidized care with ease.
What Are CHAS Dental Subsidies?
CHAS dental subsidies are financial aids provided by the Singapore Government to make medical and dental services more accessible to eligible citizens. With CHAS, you can receive subsidies on:
Tooth extractions
Fillings and scaling/polishing
Gum treatments and other basic dental care
For patients with chronic conditions, CHAS works together with the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), allowing MediSave usage alongside CHAS for certain treatments.
Subsidy amounts vary depending on your CHAS card tier:
CHAS Blue – Higher subsidies for lower-income households
CHAS Orange – Moderate subsidies for middle-income households
Merdeka Generation (MG) & Pioneer Generation (PG) – Enhanced subsidies for seniors
