Meet the team 👋🏼
Where did you study?
I attended and completed my studies in general dentistry in Athens. After this, I was admitted to the periodontology programme at ACTA, the academic center for dentistry in Amsterdam. This programme is accredited by the European Federation of Periodontology, and since they only admit three students per year, I was delighted to have this opportunity to specialize.
Besides my education, I like to keep learning. Among other things, I participate in many conferences.
I like to attend practical courses to learn more specific treatments, such as periodontal plastic aesthetic surgery and implants in the aesthetic zone.
What exactly does that mean?
You've probably seen people with a lot of gums in their smile, a so-called gummy smile, or people where gums have receded very far. With certain techniques, you can shift the gums so that the smile follows a nice line, and therefore there is no longer a gummy smile or receded gums.
Why did you choose to study dentistry? What did you think of the study?
It is a very interesting study. Among other things, I really liked the fact that I could put my knowledge directly into practice.
After studying dentistry, why did you choose to study further to become a periodontist?
I have an affinity for periodontology. I really like the biological principles behind periodontology, and I enjoy operating. Not only that, but I also like restorative dentistry and interdisciplinary treatment planning in severe periodontal situations that also require extensive rehabilitation.
What makes you enjoy working as a periodontist at Tandarts Jordaan?
I enjoy working with dentists of different specialisms in the same practice.
Can you remember your dentist from before? What kind of person was that?
I remember that one very well. My dentist was also my mother.
Did you like going to the dentist?
I wouldn't say I liked going very much, but not going was not an option since my dentist was also my mother.
