Dr. Charlene Goh is an Assistant Professor in the Discipline of Primary Dental Care and Population Health at the Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore (NUS), and an Associate Consultant at the National University Centre for Oral Health, Singapore.
She trained in dentistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and, early in her career, had the opportunity to work in the Chief Dental Officer’s Office at the Ministry of Health, Singapore—an experience that ignited a lasting commitment to dental public health and population-level strategies. She later pursued a Master of Public Health and a Doctor of Public Health in Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York, supported by the NUS Overseas Graduate Scholarship.
In her clinical practice, Dr Goh focuses on preventing dental diseases through behaviour change strategies and minimally invasive dentistry. Her clinical work complements her research, which is grounded in the hypothesis that oral health is deeply interconnected with systemic health. She is also involved in developing digital tools to enhance oral health literacy and empower patients to take charge of their oral health.
