Can I use MediSave for wisdom tooth extraction?
MediSave can be claimed for Wisdom tooth extraction if surgically removed. If you are a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident, you will be able to claim surgical wisdom tooth extraction expenses from your CPF MediSave Account.
Our dentists examine your teeth and will let you know if the wisdom tooth can be removed via a routine extraction or surgery.

Non-surgical dental treatments such as extractions, crowning, dentures or braces are not MediSave-claimable.
You can claim different amounts depending on the complexity and type of dental treatments undergone. According to the Central Provident Fund Board (CPF), there is a limit set for surgical wisdom tooth extraction. The exact amount would depend on the type and complexity of the procedure.
