She returned to dentistry and attended various courses to enhance her in-surgery skills. Because of the passion she had for patients’ well-being and satisfaction, and also her special interests in dental anxiety and mental health (due to the work she performed within hospital dentistry in Sweden) she decided to do a bachelor’s in Psychology. Thereafter, she also obtained a Master’s Degree in psychological well-being and mental health. She is passionate about improving patients’ self-confidence and general well-being. She believes that excellent communication and building a good rapport with each patient is key to achieving a high standard of care and the best clinical result.
