Kadri Põlluste

Introduction

My desire to become a doctor arose early, but the choice of dentistry was almost overnight, and I have not regretted it. This field is specific, offers creativity, and the gratitude of patients adds value. Professionally, periodontology fascinates me, especially its surgical aspect. Thorough knowledge of periodontology significantly improves the patient’s oral and general health. As a doctor, I consider open communication and cooperation important, creating mutual trust.
