 Survey showed that 64% of local lower-income employees are not concerned about dental health

 

Sixty-four percent of the low-income employees do not go for dental check-ups. Many people probably do not know that oral health is linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

 

The survey that targeted blue-collar workers and lower-income employees, which was conducted by the Singapore Dental Health Foundation and Singapore Human Resources Institute, revealed that Singaporeans are not too concerned about dental health.

 

It is important to go for dental check-ups twice a year. Oral health is linked to some diseases.

 

Sixty-eight percent of the respondents, whose salary was below $1,500, stated that if their companies were willing to pay for their dental check-up fees, they would go for check-ups regularly. Among them, 81% indicated that if their companies pay for their dental fees, they would go for check-up even if there were no pain.

 

Thirty-nine percent of the respondents stated that they did not visit the dentist as there were no pain or other problems. 27% of the respondents indicated that they were busy and did not have time to visit the dentist.

 

This survey was released at the Singapore HR Congress 2008 & Business-Connect Exposition 2008 today.


Mr Lee Yi Shyan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, graced the opening ceremony this morning. He stated that all successful enterprises could attribute their success to the quality of their human resources. With the globalisation of the economy, the human resource department should identify and groom talents for the future operation needs of their companies.
