More Dentists In Singapore
Singapore will get more foreign-trained dentists to work in Singapore in the future. More dentists trained in India and Asean countries can be expected to come over to Singapore in the decades ahead as Singapore moves to attract more foreign-trained dentists.
This news on more dentists in Singapore was revealed in The Straits Times of 3 September 2009.
"Two new initiatives are in the works to ease the dentist shortage here by allowing more dentists from the region to work in Singapore.
