I was motivated to become a dentist by my deep interest in helping people and the opportunity to continuously develop and learn throughout life. I consider patient education on oral health maintenance very important because ultimately only patients themselves can take full responsibility for their oral hygiene. As a dentist, I try to educate and guide them as much as possible in this area. In my daily work, I trust my skills, knowledge, and intuition. As a mother of three children, I always establish a good rapport with pediatric patients and their parents. Cooperation between doctor and patient ensures the best results and long-term maintenance of good treatment outcomes. I always share in the joy with my patients when their check-ups show that everything is fine.
