Wishing you an Ox-picious New Year!
Keeping a Healthy Smile in Your Golden Years
Dr. Ansgar Cheng spoke on the topic, “Keeping a Healthy Smile in Your Golden Years” at the recent 50+ Expo 2009, the largest fair for seniors in Singapore. Over 100 exhibitors participated. Parkway Health was one of the major sponsors of the event, with a section on Health & Fitness at the Expo. Dr. Cheng was a speaker for Parkway Health.
One of the challenges as a person ages, is preserving and maintaining the condition of their teeth. Growing older doesn’t necessarily mean that one should accept loss of teeth and a lower quality of life as a natural part of ageing.
Teeth replacement can improve the nutritional status of older persons who may have had to change their nutrition intake due to missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. When a person reduces their intake of fruits, vegetables, meats and other “difficult-to-eat” food, he or she does not have a balanced diet and ends up being susceptible for various health disorders.
With proper care of existing teeth and the use of dental technology to replace missing teeth, one can have a healthy smile during the golden years and beyond.

Teddy Bear Drive
Everytime the Christmas season comes around, one special event that Specialist Dental Group looks forward to is the annual Canadian Christmas Teddy Bear Drive organized by the Canadian Assocation of Singapore (CAS).
Currently in its 5th year, the CAS has raised about $100,000 over the years for the KK Hospital Health Endowment Fund (KKHHEF). The KKHHEF provides financial support towards needy patients, as well as education, research and disease prevention programmes targeted at women’s and children’s health.
Apart from the fundraising aspect of the Teddy Bear Drive, one fun (and meaningful) aspect is to collect teddy bears to be distributed to each child patient at the KK Hospital to cheer them up during the Christmas season. The look on children’s faces when they receive the bears from volunteers is simply priceless.
Specialist Dental Group is proud to be one of the sponsors of the CAS Teddy Bear Drive. Our clinic has been involved in a corporate or individual capacity for the past four years.
