S’porean woman, 40, says she suffered complications after S$120 fillings in Johor, says it's not worth it
An investigation will be launched.
A 40-year-old Singaporean woman, identified as Li, experienced complications after receiving dental fillings in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, according to a report in Shin Min Daily News. Li visited two dental clinics in September 2026, seeking a tooth cleaning and polishing. However, she claims that the dentist recommended fillings without her consent, leading to an extremely painful procedure that resulted in a large hole in her tooth.
Li then faced swelling on her face and had to take painkillers. She subsequently returned to another branch in Mount Austin, where the dentist removed the fillings and refilled her tooth, but the issue persisted. Li experienced sensitivity and stinging while rinsing her mouth, and even bit her gums when closing her teeth. Despite multiple attempts to contact customer service, she found their response to be slow.
Li regrets the decision to travel to Johor Bahru for dental treatment, suggesting that it may not be worth the expense for such procedures. The clinic acknowledged receiving Li's complaint and stated that they are investigating the incident.
