ADVERTISING In a press release on Monday (Sep 18), the Singapore Dental Council (SDC) said Dr Sng Wee Hock, a fully registered dentist, was found to have been "driven by profits" by failing to supervise Dr Jun Soo Lee and Dr Park Seunghyun, both conditionally registered dentists. The Dental Registration Act requires conditionally registered dentists to be supervised by a fully registered dentist working in the same practice for at least two years. Dr Sng was approved as the supervisor of both Dr Lee and Dr Park. All three dentists worked at WH Dental Surgeons, which has three clinics in Hougang, Sengkang and Punggol. SDC said in the press release that it had issued "numerous circulars" to supervisors and supervisees stating that conditionally registered dentists had to work under supervision in the same clinic as the supervisor. These circulars were published on the SDC’s website and the council also sent email reminders of the supervision requirements to the three dentists, it said. Advertisement However, Dr Sng allowed the two dentists to work independently at different branches of the dental clinic. Dr Lee saw patients while unsupervised over a period of seven months and 100 clinic sessions from Oct 27, 2014 to May 16, 2015, while Dr Park did the same for about three weeks and nine clinic sessions from Apr 3, 2015 to May 16, 2015, SDC said. Dr Sng has previous convictions for professional misconduct - he was fined S$15,000 and censured in 2013 for not adequately informing a patient about claimable costs under Medisave, and also fined S$40,000 and suspended for 15 months for delegating dental procedures to unqualified staff in 2016. He is currently under suspension for the second conviction. For his latest infraction, Dr Sng was fined the maximum S$50,000, suspended for 15 months for failing to supervise Dr Lee and another four months for failing to supervise Dr Park. The suspensions will only run after Dr Sng's current suspension period ends. He was also censured, ordered to provide a written undertaking to SDC that he would not engage in similar conduct and ordered to pay 90 per cent of the legal costs relating to the disciplinary proceedings. The SDC considered in sentencing that “a strong message ought to be sent out to registered dentists that such conduct would not be tolerated and that the high standards set should not to be compromised under any circumstances”, it said. UNSUPERVISED DENTISTS ALSO PUNISHED Dr Lee and Dr Park both received the minimum suspension period of three months for their role in the breaches. They were also censured and ordered to provide written undertakings. Their breaches were not considered to be serious enough to cancel their conditional registrations, SDC said. Dr Lee was fined S$8,000 and ordered to pay 8 per cent of the legal costs relating to the proceedings, while Dr Park - who was unsupervised for a shorter period - was fined S$2,000 and ordered to pay 2 per cent of the legal costs. All three dentists pleaded guilty to the charges against them, which was considered in their pleas of mitigation of their sentences, SDC said. They have 30 days to appeal to the High Court against the sentence, it added Read more at http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/dentist-fined-s-50-000-suspended-for-failing-to-supervise-two-9225998 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YumiKousaka Neutral Newbie February 21, 2020 Share February 21, 2020 oh dear... dental charge is expensive but i would say you dont wanna run the risk to damage ur teeth by going to a cheap dental clinic. I went to Advanced Dental Group two weeks ago and I had horrible service experience with them! Their dentist, someone was called Dr.Ng was supposed to do a retainer for me. It took them one week while other dental clinic usually only took 2-3 days. and the retainer was made wrongly.... I cannot even wear it. After losing trust in their service, I asked for a refund. but the dental clinic rejected! and you know what.... they were still keeping my wrong retainer... Yes.. they kept the money and the wrong retainer. So, conclusion is .... dont ever go to this Advanced Dental Group! unless you wanna damage ur teeth. also, dont go to a cheap dental clinic. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
