No..crown another 1700

So expensive? you went to high class clinic?
I just did 3 months ago at a private clinic in KL
total RM2.3k for both root canal and crown

I based in east Malaysia and our choices of kkm is rather limited.

I went to the visit already last week but was scheduled to March 2026 for scaling. After that, only able to schedule for me root canal or any necessary service

Govt special services are crazy long. I went to Serdang Hospital (Specialist Hospital for Heart) because possible block. To do proper scan they gave appt almost 1.5 years later. Gave me Heart med and say if Heart Attack, go Emergency.

After 6 months, went back to check, they had special arrangement for scan with Private (only for 2 months), so I registered and got the scan in 2 weeks. While chatting with Dr (who arrange scan), she said she has been calling many people, a lot couldnt arrange because already DEAD. Happened to a friend, waited over 1 year, then 3 months before bypass had heart attack and died.

Malaysia is getting more wprse, seems only the rich have right to live long. Poor can go and die.

Does that RM1800++ include the crown?

No..crown another 1700

5 years ago I did root canal + crown total around RM1,500 only. I chose the cheapest crown. Now so expensive?

If you want to do in government.. suggest go to some remote place.. else wait in city long Q.

Hi guys,recently I went to private dentist for multiple visits as well as multiple X-rays had been taken but my problem is not solved yet as they can't identify which tooth is the culprit from 2D X-ray.

Private dentist advise to go for another CBCT scan (RM600) and told me that I might need to go for root canal (RM1800+)

This is quite financial burden.

So I try to go for KKM as others recommend that it is as good as private and we only pay minimal.

The dentist there just merely check and then ask whether I got bring any X-ray along with me.

After that she said if root canal need to do scaling and tooth filling first.

But I already did those few days prior to the government visit.

She said oh yes, but I think still not that clean. So I can't make any root canal appointment.

And the next visit appointment for scaling is scheduled to March 2026 (next year).

She said root canal can only be arranged after that, that is their SOP. so most root canal most probably 2027/2028.

So she recommend me eat painkiller daily if I can tahan else fork out money to visit private clinic.

I wonder is it normal for government dentistry to work that way? It's my first time there.

I waited a few years for government clinic appointment, in the end I go to private clinic.

Because government busy with other stuff.. Like how to rob money from ROn95, which plate number can sell higher and etc.
They never care about medicine since PH onboard, back to Najib area they do introduce a lot medical benefit... You need your rakyat healthy only can look further plan, not look other plan and all your rakyat sick as F.

Got another option see you can go or not...U can opt to do it in IMU by student with teacher guidiance.
Price i think is 1/3 from outside and waiting list not that long..
