Singapore authorities investigated about 20 cases of unlawful dental practice between 2021 and 2025, with cases largely involving unregistered individuals performing cosmetic dental procedures.

• Procedure Focus: Most cases involved cosmetic treatments such as veneers and braces carried out by unregistered practitioners.
• Enforcement Methods: Investigations were supported by public feedback and monitoring of promotional activities on social media platforms.
• Public Guidance: Authorities introduced the “3C” framework—Check, Choose, and Call out—to help individuals verify registered practitioners and licensed clinics.
