Hygienists
Our team of dental hygienists
Your dentist and dental hygienist work as a team to meet your oral health goals. Our dental hygienists will provide oral care through examination, x-rays, teeth cleaning, and other preventative dental services.
Dental training
Dental Hygienists have an associate's degree in dental hygiene from an accredited institution. All Hygienists/Oral Health Therapists (OHTs) are required to register with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC).
Supervised by our dentists
Hygienists are supervised at all times when seeing patients by a fully registered dentist (Singapore Dental Council).
Continual training & support
All hygienists have a one-on-one monthly meeting with our Clinical Director to review patient treatments and charts. In addition, they have bi-monthly department meetings to review cases and treatment plans.
Radiographs & 3D Scanners
All hygienists are duly trained and registered with the relevant local regulators to take radiographs and use 3D scanners.
