TMJ arthrocentesis flushes inflamed jaw joints to relieve pain, locking, and restricted opening.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,200 – 3,400
• Anaesthetist fee: Not benchmarked
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage may apply when:

• Conservative therapy has failed
Insurance Tip
Jaw procedures may be challenged. Clearly state functional impairment (eating, speaking).
Conclusion
Jaw function is essential. Insurance should recognise therapeutic intervention.
