CHAS Dental Subsidies
The Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced new measures to make dental care more affordable for Singaporeans — starting from Q4 2025.
These enhancements will benefit CHAS Blue, CHAS Orange, Pioneer Generation, and Merdeka Generation cardholders, helping you save more on essential treatments such as cleaning, fillings, and even root canals.
🌟 Key Highlights
✅ New CHAS Orange Subsidy
CHAS Orange cardholders will soon receive a subsidy of up to $45.50 for 10 basic and preventive dental procedures, such as scaling and polishing.
✅ Higher Subsidies for Restorative Treatments
Subsidy limits will be significantly raised for 7 restorative dental procedures (e.g. fillings, root canal treatments) for CHAS Blue, CHAS Orange, Pioneer, and Merdeka Generation cardholders.
