Dr Loo Ping Ling is a Dental Sleep Medicine and Oral Myology Specialist. She graduated from Malaysia National University and attained her additional postgraduate qualifications from both Graduate School University (US) and Tufts University Boston (US). She is currently an active member of International Association of Oral Myology (IAOM) and an International Certificant of American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Loo is also one of the very few dental surgeons who are proficient in providing tongue tie surgery (myofunctional frenuloplasty). She received her training from the world-renowned Dr Soroush Zaghi from The Breathe Institute (US,) and also from Tongue Tie Institute (Australia).
Dr Loo founded Little GiGi Dental Group in 2013, a dental group that is known for its myofunctional treatment and children dentistry. Dr Loo has been working closely with specialists from Australia, United State, China, Finland, and Taiwan. With her tremendous clinical experience, Little GiGi is awarded the first and only LM (Finland) Certified Children Orofacial Development Management Center in Southeast Asia. Besides, Little GiGi is also holding the title of the first Myobrace (Australia) Certified Provider in Southeast Asia.
A mother of three, Dr Loo herself faced a lot of difficulties in providing dental care for her kids so she fully understands the dilemma faced by parents in this regard. The assumption of an unpleasant experience for their children at the dentist can alter the thinking and behaviour of parents in their approach to children dental care. The inspiration to make visiting the dentist an absolute treat and an overall joyful experience for both children and parents is what spurred Dr Loo to establish Little GiGi.
Dr Loo believes that at the end of the day, it is crucial to ensure a child’s dental journey begins in the right place and the right surroundings. Every child should get excited about seeing a dentist. Beyond just ensuring a healthy set of teeth, it’s just as important for them to gain happiness and knowledge about the importance of dental health which will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
