Following the updated measures from Ministry of Health on Tuesday, 24 August for transition to COVID-19 Resilience, we have updated this page and will be implementing these rules in accordance to the guidelines.
Everything you need to know about the safety restrictions and how they impact the dental care you can receive
For those who have arrived in Singapore from another country within the last 7 days
In addition to standard infection control protocols, further safety measures have been put in place
Patients seeking dental treatment will first be assessed using the Ministry of Health guidelines. Patients who fall under the category of Protocol 1, 2, 3 will be asked to defer their appointment until their Day 7 Antigen Rapid Test (ART) is returned with a negative result

The Ministry Of Health will stop issuing Health Risk Notices (HRNs) to close contacts of COVID-positive patients. However, in the spirit of social responsibility, infected persons are encouraged to inform others who may have had recent exposure, so that they can take the necessary precautions under Protocol 3 to prevent further spread.

All non-vaccinated travellers are required wait 7 days from the day of their arrival in Singapore before booking a dental appointment with us.
Due to the medical nature of our services and the requirement for patients to remove their masks while indoors, we ask that patients wait for 7 days before making an appointment as an extra precaution for everyone's safety and health.
As part of the government's push to immunise healthcare and frontline workers in our fight against COVID-19, all of our staff at Dental Forté are fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine to help provide a safer clinical environment for our patients.
Safe-distancing is no longer required, but we do highly encourage patients to avoid bringing excessive accompanying visitors to avoid crowding in the waiting and treatment rooms.
In addition to standard infection control protocols, we are disinfecting all areas that our visitors and patients will come into contact with to ensure the entire clinic is always sterile and ready for the next patient. On top of our usual sanitisation of dental treatment rooms, we are sanitising door handles, waiting areas, and the front desk after every patient. We provide hand sanitisers for all visitors and patients at the front desk. Our staff will put on their required personal protective equipment at all times.
We will still be implementing the usage of pre-procedural mouth rinses for all attending patients as studies have shown that this helps with lowering the transmission of viral particles in saliva and respiratory droplets.
All patients and accompanying visitors are still required to wear their masks when attending appointments.
This applies to all healthcare facilities and the indoor premises of these facilities, including at retail or F&B establishments located within the building.
