The dream of following a dentistry career came to me as a little girl, and at 18 years old I had no doubts that I wanted to enroll at the Faculty of Dentistry. I graduated as a dental surgeon in 2001 in Brazil, having started my practical experience when I was 23 years old.
My passion for dentistry sparked an interest in the academic field. I have a postgraduate degree in Dental Materials from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and a master's degree (M.Sc.) and Doctorate (PhD) in Biomaterials applied to dentistry.
Due to my extensive clinical and academic experience I have been a clinical instructor in the field of dental materials in both Brazil and Denmark. In 2009 I was invited to continue my research project at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and two years later, I obtained a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen (KU).
In 2010, I moved permanently to Denmark with the goal of obtaining a Danish license as a dentist. To start with, I had to learn Danish and then pass a series of theoretical and practical exams in dentistry. With my indomitability and great work ethic, I received the title of Danish dentist in 2017. Since then, I have worked partly as a practicing dentist, but also as a teacher at the Danish School of Dentistry in Copenhagen.
My latest big adventure was in Greenland. Here I lived and worked for three months as the chief district dentist in Aasiaat, a small town with just over 3,000 inhabitants in the northwestern part of the country. It was a truly unforgettable experience, which gave me knowledge of the rich and distinctive Greenlandic culture, as well as an incredible number of memories of Greenland's amazing nature. Professionally, it taught me how to handle difficult and vulnerable situations, and I also learned to work outside my comfort zone.
As a dentist, I value professionalism and safety in my work. At the first consultation, I always carefully assess the patient. Good communication with patients is therefore very important to me, so that I am better able to understand individual needs.
With more than 20 years of experience in general practice, I have gained extensive knowledge in the various fields of dentistry, with a particular emphasis on preventive treatment, oral rehabilitation and some forms of surgery. I currently alternate my dental hours between private practice and my course on Dental Sleep Medicine. I also have shifts at the Dental Emergency Service in Copenhagen.
