Singapore adds special care dentistry as eighth dental speciality

The speciality focuses on treating adults with complex needs.

The Dental Specialists Accreditation Board (DSAB), supported by the Ministry of Health, has recognised special care dentistry as Singapore’s eighth dental speciality.

The DSAB will set professional standards and strengthen training requirements to ensure specialists meet quality care standards.

The other seven dental specialities are endodontics, oral & maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, and dental public health.

Special Care Dentistry focuses on treating adults who have significant physical, medical, developmental or cognitive conditions that limit their ability to receive routine care.

It is recognised as a speciality in Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
