Greetings from Dr Yasmin Akrum
Hello,
Dr Yasmin Akrum, Gum Specialist, Singapore
I am Dr Yasmin Akrum. I graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1992. I was then based in the Institute of Dental Health followed by the Government Dental Clinic for 2 years.
I embarked on specialist training thereafter and proceeded to complete my Masters in Science (Periodontology) at the Eastman Dental Institute, University of London in 1995. After working in the private sector for 5 years as a periodontist, I returned to the National Dental Centre (NDC) Singapore.
While in NDC, apart from a clinical practice restricted to the speciality of periodontics, I was also involved in the training of dental surgery assistants, dental hygienists/therapists and general dentists. My job scope there includes conducting research; providing consultations to general dentists and other specialists; conducting study clubs and lectures for Continuing Professional Education.
After 8 years, I left NDC to start The Oral Care Centre in 2008, with Dr Adeline Wong, a Prosthodontist. Presently, she is a visiting specialist at NDC overseeing clinical postgraduate studies as well as an adjunct senior clinical tutor in the Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, undergraduate programme.
With more than 12 years of speciality training experience, I honed my clinical skills to not only stabilise patients with periodontitis via conservative and surgical treatment but to also restore the function and aesthetics of patients utilising various soft and hard tissue grafting techniques and implant surgery.
I am a member of the Society of Periodontology (Singapore) , Academy of Medicine (Singapore) and registered on the Board of Dental Specialists.
I will be giving you tips on dental care at the Healthy Times Blog from time to time. Do visit me often at the blog or at my clinic The Oral Care Centre located at Novena Square.

Hi Mr and Mrs Jokic,
I am sorry for the delay in replying your email. You can call 63976990 for an appt or email to enquiry@theoralcarecentre.com.
As for charges, it depends on the number of teeth that needs to be deep cleaned and whether it is active treatment or periodontal maintenance.
Please feel free to contact me to further discuss this if necessary.

Hi doctor,
I have gums with dark pigmentation. I’ve read that gum bleaching is available in US. Is it available here in Singapore?
Cheers
Alex
Hi Alex
I am afraid gum bleaching is not available in Singapore. Thanks for your question. Why don’t you come down for a gum check-up?
Warm regards
