Singapore Medicines: Registration of Oral Health Therapists Starts This Month

By Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE: Oral health therapists have to register themselves with the Singapore Dental Council in order to continue practising in public and private hospitals, institutions and clinics.

This is to ensure that all dental professionals involved in the delivery of clinical care are regulated and professionally recognised.

This is required under the new Dental Registration Act which was passed in Parliament this year and will take effect on January 1, 2008.

Registration should be completed by June 30, 2008.

Registration details and further information are available at SDC's website at www.sdc.gov.sg .

Application forms can also be obtained from the Singapore Dental Council at 16 College Road, #01-01 College of Medicine Building, Singapore 169854. - CNA/ac
