A six-month wait for dental treatment?


I RECENTLY went to seek treatment at a government clinic in Putrajaya for a bad tooth. My best guess was that the pain was due to damaged fillings.

During the movement control order phase last year, the clinic was still accepting walk-ins but only for serious cases requiring filling, extractions and the like – no routine check-ups or scaling.
