She received her dental degree from the National University of Singapore in 2001, and trained in school dental service, polyclinic and hospital dentistry during government service. After transitioning to private practice, Dr Ng began practising sleep dentistry in 2008, and established a comprehensive sleep breathing disorder screening program, helping countless patients with early detection of sleep and sleep breathing disorders.
Dr. Ng is a qualified dental sleep medicine practitioner, who is also dual-trained with expertise in both sleep medicine and dentistry. Dr Ng has attained Master of Science in Medicine (Sleep Medicine) from the University of Sydney, International Fellow of Dental Sleep Medicine (IFDSM) from the Australasian Sleep Association, and International Certificant from the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (IC-ABDSM).
Dental sleep medicine is a highly specialised area of dentistry that involves the screening and treatment of patients with sleep breathing disorders. This includes benign snoring to obstructive sleep apnoea and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). Dr Ng treats patients with sleep breathing disorders, who are prescribed oral appliances to open the airway during sleep. She works closely with ENT surgeons, respiratory medicine specialists, and sleep neurology physicians as part of a multidisciplinary team. Dr Ng also collaborates with psychologists, speech pathologists, airway-focused orthodontists and oral surgeons to completely manage patients with sleep and sleep-breathing disorders, oral-facial growth discrepancies, and functional speech and swallowing issues.
Dr Ng has found great personal and professional fulfilment in helping patients improve their sleep and breathing, and witnessing the positive impacts on their physical, mental and emotional health.
Dr Ng has devoted her practice to the screening and treatment of sleep and sleep-breathing disorders, staying up to date with current practice standards and technology. Dr Ng is a keen advocate in raising awareness for early detection and treatment, and is an active speaker on the topic of sleep and dental sleep medicine to help educate the healthcare community and general public.
