Why Are We Wasting Money On Mouthwash And Teeth Whitening Products?
8 Days
|July 07, 2016
This dentist to the stars tells us why we’re wasting money on mouthwash and off-the shelf teeth whitening products.
The Moneymaker:
DR RONNIE YAP, 47, principal dentist at Orchard Scotts Dental, and dentist to the stars. One of the pioneers of the Invisalign teeth-straightening treatment here 10 years ago, the clinic recently moved to bigger, swankier digs at Liat Towers (it now has an Invisalign-dedicated clinic and an aesthetics dentistry-focused outfit side by side) where you might just run into famous clients like Sheila Sim, Nat Ho or Kelly Poon.
HOME IS: A townhouse in Tanah Merah, where he lives with his wife and two kids.
HIS RIDE IS: A Volvo V60 station wagon. “I go standup paddling on weekends, so I need a car that can hold all the surfing boards,” he quips.
WHAT’S IN HIS WALLET: Two personal credit cards, one company credit card, an Isetan membership card, name cards, and a family photo. “I keep my wallet in my right pocket and my cash separately in my left pocket. I don’t like my wallet to be bulky,” he says.
8 DAYS: Is it an occupational hazard for dentists to check out someone’s teeth when you first meet them, even in a social setting?
DR RONNIE YAP: (Guffaws) Yes, but we try not to. The moment I look at a person, I know what needs to be done. People suddenly get really self-conscious when they realise they’re talking to a dentist.
