About me

When I was a child, going to a dentist really scared me and made me anxious. It was a real challenge to make me stay still. When I turned 6, I had a very nice experience with a doctor who helped me control my fears and I learned that everything would be ok as long as I was calm. In that moment I realized that I wanted to become a Pediatric Dentist to help other children who, just like me, were scared of going to the dentist with the fear of not knowing what was going to happen. Fortunately, I love to work with children, I am very patient and can communicate very clearly with kids. When my little patients come to my office, I show them how everything works in the office, what each instrument and material is for and we let them use a small mirror so that they can see what we are doing in their mouths. These techniques make the patients feel like they have the situation under control. As a result, they lose fear and become interested in their dental hygiene and preventing illnesses. In my days as teacher, I promised myself that all my students would learn the different types of disabilities, their implications and the attention protocol necessary to treat handicapped patients as handicapped patients represent a beautiful challenge. It has been very gratifying to see that my students (now colleagues) learned to treat these patients in a very humane, fearless way and without using general anesthesia. I believe that anything is possible when you love what you do.
