Domestic Helper for dental

Question

Hi..My family just hire the helper. She is new and  just work with us for 3 months then complain toothache when my mom ask her that did she know that she have toothache and meet dentist or no before come to work Singapore then she said yeah, she knew but never see dentist. Should we pay for her dental all cost or can be sharing payment? Dental is expensive. We have insurance for her but only hospitalisation and accident. Please advice 🙏🏻Thank you #Needadvice

Unfortunately you need to pay for dental cost. A lot of helpers purposely come to Singapore to work as helper to make their employers pay for their treatment despite knowing they have problem at their home country. You can try to ask her to use mouth wash first. If it is still painful, then you need to bring her to the dentist to check.
