Corporate Profile National Dental Centre Singapore

National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS) provides multidisciplinary specialist care for complex dental conditions. Our services encompass oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and paediatric dentistry.

National Dental Centre Singapore trains dental specialists, radiographers, oral hygiene therapists, dental technicians and dental surgery assistants in collaboration with local tertiary education institutions. We also provide continuing dental education for dentists and dental specialists alike.

Our research program focuses on translational research to improve patients’ lives in four areas – clinical tissue engineering, oral devices and therapeutics, oral health and general health, and oral health and ageing. Our clinician-scientists and clinician-innovators have made many discoveries and developed new solutions that improve understanding of oral health, and enhance the practice of dentistry.

We are also actively involved in community outreach and work with partners to conduct oral health screening activities in neighborhoods across Singapore. These sessions raise awareness of good oral health among screening participants and enable detection and referral of dental conditions that need treatment.

National Dental Centre Singapore Work in the Community (RHS)

National Dental Centre Singapore’s regional health system framework aligns with Ministry of Health’s Beyond Healthcare 2020 vision to move beyond hospital to community, beyond healthcare to value, and beyond healthcare to health. Our aim is to empower the population to Keep Well, Get Well, and Age Well in the community and at home.

Our regional health system initiatives (RHS) include:

• The Infant Oral Health Programmed, targeted at infants/babies and their families to help them develop good oral health and oral health behaviors. The attending pediatrics dentist will assess the child’s risk of tooth decay and dental development, advise appropriate preventive strategies and offer guidance for parents at each stage of the child’s dental development.

• The Care Partnership Programmed where we partner with like-minded primary care dental practitioners to provide shared care or fully transitioned care of patients with stable periodontal (gum) conditions, pediatrics patients, and those who require simple crowns, dentures and geriatric special care. The programmed has been well received with more than 1,268 participants, the majority of whom have provided positive feedback.

• The Oral Health Education Programme to improve the oral health of those in long-term care. The programme trains non-dental healthcare professionals in long-term care settings such as nursing homes and stroke units to deliver basic oral healthcare and identify common dental conditions.

• The Oral Health Movement 8020 on Oral Frailty, a preventive intervention programme targeting oral frailty of older adults, aged 40 years and above. The programme includes screening at various platforms in the community, followed by a preventive intervention programme to improve oral frailty in orally pre-frail or frail individuals.

• Dental screening in the community under Project Silver Screen in collaboration with Health Promotion Board and Temasek Foundation Cares, and Neighborhood Health Service. We aim to provide oral health screening to the community, and pick up undiagnosed dental conditions which can then be referred to dentists in the community or to NDCS for further follow-up.

• Creating awareness of oral health topics through roadshows, public forums, and talks in the community, and at schools and workplaces.

• Conducting health services research to enhance the way care is delivered, and improve treatment outcomes.
