Oral health - not something to be brushed off. With almost 50% of children in Singapore experiencing tooth decay by the age of 6, a new National University Centre for Oral Health, Singapore (NUCOHS) programme aims to foster a positive association with dental visits among young children and help them feel at ease with the dentist as a trusted figure by engaging with parents and children. "This new programme will help children become accustomed to the dentist’s office and the dental chair. When they start to associate the dentist’s office with a positive experience, it can reduce anxiety the next time they visit a dentist." said Dr Sim Chien Joo, Head, Division of Paediatric Dentistry, NUCOHS.
