Letā€™s be honest. When was your last dental check-up? If you canā€™t remember, youā€™re not alone! About 1 in 3 adults in Singapore have cavities, and more than half have gum disease. Yet only half of us see a dentist regularly. šŸ˜¬ Dental problems are like kopi stains. They build up slowly if you donā€™t clean up!

This new study wants to find out what really stops us from going for preventive dental care, and what would make us say ā€œOK lah, Iā€™ll go see dentist!ā€ The findings will help shape policies to make dental care easier for everyone.

So, whoā€™s the last person in your family to see a dentist? Tag them and give them a nudge! šŸ¦·šŸ˜„

Are you already a regular at the dentist, or is it time to book that check-up? Share your dental habits below!
