In the early days, public sector dominated oral healthcare. The balance of private-public sector has seen many changes through various economic climates. At the end of 2000, the balance favours the private sector.
The government not only provides healthcare but also ensures dissemination of health education. This policy led to the natural progression of establishment of a Dental Health Education Unit in 1979 at the then Dental Division, Ministry of Health. In 1994, the Unit was re-designated Oral Health Promotion Unit to better reflect its scope of responsibilities in advocating for health with emphasis on oral health. Similarly in 1996, the Dental Division justified a change of nomenclature to the Oral Health Division to reflect the holistic concept of oral health as part of general health.
