The SDC operates under the remit of the Dental Registration Act (“DRA”) in regulating the conduct of registered dental practitioners in Singapore.

Under the DRA, if you wish to lodge a complaint against a dental practitioner, you must submit a written complaint accompanied by a Statutory Declaration (“SD”) which must be affirmed before a Commissioner for Oaths (“CO”), Notary Public (“NP”) or Justice of the Peace (“JOTP”).

Your complaint must be type-written in English and should include the full name of the dental practitioner(s), the full facts of the case and your allegations against the dental practitioner(s) in a letter. Please refer to the Sample Template for an example when preparing your type-written complaint letter. Kindly refrain from providing the details of your complaint in the email.

Please ensure that your full name, address, occupation, and contact details (i.e. email and contact number) are included in the SD. Kindly ensure that your CO, NP or JOTP endorses all signature fields in the SD. Once the SD has been duly affirmed / sworn, you can submit the SD and your letter of complaint via email:

	What to submit	Where to submit to:
By email	The completed and signed SD form (pages 1 and 2), complaint letter; and supporting documents consolidated in one PDF file (in colour)	sdc@spb.gov.sg Attention: Professional Conduct and Professional Standard Division/ Singapore Dental Council

SDC reserves its rights to reject all SDs that are not completed appropriately (e.g. missing fields / signatures etc.).
