    Meet Our Doctors

    Dr Tabitha Chng

    Dr Tabitha Chng

    BDS (Singapore), FAMS (Singapore),

    MSc Paediatric Dentistry (Toronto), FRCD (Canada)

    Diplomate, American Board of Paediatric Dentistry

    Dr Chng is a double Board Certified Paediatric Dentist. Valedictorian of her graduating class at the National University of Singapore, she was twice placed on the Dean’s List and picked up numerous University Medals. Quick to identify her love for working with children, she pursued a diploma in Child Psychology after graduation which cemented her life-long decision to serve the paediatric population.

     

    Receiving a scholarship from the Ministry of Health, she furthered her training at the University of Toronto, Canada where she received the Richard C. Pugh Achievement Award and was awarded the Dr Keith Titley Paediatric Dental Graduate Training Scholarship. She is currently the only paediatric dentist in Singapore to be dually Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

     

    Dr Chng loves to see children smile and constantly strives to create a safe and relaxed environment for kids to enjoy their visits. She particularly enjoys guiding anxious children towards developing an excitement for their dental visits. Besides fighting cavities, she has a special interest in paediatric sleep medicine (eg. tooth grinding, snoring) and early management of crooked teeth without braces.

     

    With a love for learning, she earned a certificate in nutrition and has further completed a second Masters in Sleep Medicine — all this while fretting over Mandarin for her three lovable children and hoping PSLE will be scrapped by the time they are of age.

    Dr Doris Chua

    Dr Doris Chua

    BDS (Singapore)

    MDS Paediatric Dentistry (Singapore)

    FAMS (Paediatric Dentistry)

    Dr Doris decided she wanted to be a dentist at the young age of 11, after being inspired by her own dentist. Graduating from the National University of Singpaore with a Bachelors of Dental Surgery, she was subsequently conferred a Masters degree in Paediatric Dentistry. Dr Doris has dedicated more than 10 years of her career to the public service and nothing brings her greater joy than engaging with children. After all, it keeps her young at heart!

    While striving to keep each child's experience at the dental clinic fun and enjoyable, Dr Doris remains steadfast in doing what's best for the child. Winning awards for her outstanding service to her paediatric patients, she intends to put her child whispering skills to good use at My First Dentist - helping children to overcome their dental fears and develop a love for dental care.

    Dr Doris' alter ego is Dancer Doris. An avid dancer, she dances almost every evening of the week. Her current obsessions include tap dance, salsa and bachata.

    Dr Yeo Woon Chee

    Dr Yeo Woon Chee

    BDS (Singapore)

    MDS Orthodontics (Singapore)

    M Orth RCS (Edinburgh), FAMS

    Dr Yeo Woon Chee is a recognised specialist in Orthodontics with the Singapore Dental Council. After graduating from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2013, she continued with advanced training, obtaining her Masters of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics from NUS and accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.

    She finds immense satisfaction in her work, changing lives one smile at a time and developing lasting relationships with patients. Her expertise spans early interceptive treatments and growth modulation for children, surgical orthodontics for patients with jaw abnormalities, as well as conventional orthodontic treatment with braces and aligners. A believer in continuing education, she stays current with the latest developments and digital innovations to deliver quality care for her patients. Her exceptional dedication to patient care and professional excellence has been recognized through multiple awards during her decade-plus tenure in public service.

    Outside of work, Dr Yeo enjoys time with her family and two energetic kids. She may also be found nurturing her edible greens or pretending to be a pretzel on the yoga mat.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    First Visit Matters

    When should I bring my child for the first dental visit?
    Children should be seen by their 1st birthday as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD).

     

    What to expect at the first visit?
    We examine your child’s mouth and teeth to ensure everything is developing healthily. This is a great opportunity for parents to have any concerns addressed and learn how to best care for your child’s dental health. Since no two children are alike, we customize our dental advice to your child’s or family's needs.

     

    What if my child will not cooperate?
    Like many parents, you may be nervous about how your child is going to behave. A first visit can be challenging for young children (just like the first day of school). Do not be surprised or embarrassed if your child does not cooperate initially. Our goal is to introduce your child to the dentist in a fun and positive manner. More tips in our blog post!

     

    Keeping A Healthy Smile

    How often should I brush my child's teeth?

    Toothbrushing should be done at least twice a day with a soft bristled toothbrush. Parents should assist with toothbrushing until children demonstrate reasonable dexterity, usually around 7 years old. Please let us know if you'd like a fun brushing-test to assess your child's brushing ability!

     

    Is fluoride toothpaste necessary?

    Fluoride helps in preventing cavities. Your child may use a fluoridated toothpaste as soon as teeth emerge. We are happy to recommend toothpastes that your child can use safely even before they can spit.

     

    How often should I bring my child to see the dentist?

    We love to see your child every 6 months to check on the health and development of his smile. More frequent visits may be recommended if there is a higher risk of developing dental issues.

    Dr Pauline Lee Shih Jia

    BDS (Singapore), 

    MSc (Craniofacial Science) (UBC),

    Dip (Paediatric Dentistry) (UBC)

     

    Dr Lee graduated from the National University of Singapore in 2014, and in a stroke of serendipity, got to work as a dental officer in Paediatric Dentistry at the National Dental Centre Singapore. During her time working with the team there (including Dr Chng!), she was inspired to venture out and pursue her specialty training at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. There, she honed her aptitude for working with children and was selected as chief resident in her final year, graduating with a Combined Master of Science in Craniofacial Science and Diploma in Paediatric Dentistry in 2020.

     

    Dr Lee believes that children are capable of so much, and finds joy in helping her patients (and their parents!) navigate a potentially stressful dental environment. She prides herself in being open, non-judgemental, and empathetic, so there is always a safe place to share any worries or anxieties.

     

    Her UBC training was well-rounded and she is experienced with hospital dentistry, children with special needs and interceptive orthodontics; Dr Lee also has special interest in non-pharmacological methods of behavioural management.

     

    In her free time, Dr Lee loves exploring, trying exotic foods, and skiing -- anything to satisfy her inner child and sense of adventure!
