Team profile

Dental hygienist
Building trust first is what makes it possible to help anxious patients.
Sample profile for demonstration purposes. The person, background and quote are entirely fictional — they show what a real team page with real data would look like with us. Before going live, the practice reviews every entry.
Trained as a dental assistant in 2008, then as a prophylaxis assistant (ZMP) in 2012, then completed dental hygienist qualification (DH) in 2014. Over ten years of experience in professional cleaning and supportive periodontal therapy.
In the team, responsible for prophylaxis appointments and for the supporting maintenance therapy after periodontal treatment. Plans recall intervals individually — not from routine, but adapted to the current finding and how well daily home care is going.
Particular experience with anxious patients and with older patients for whom day-to-day mouth care is becoming harder.

Day-to-day in the practice
A prophylaxis appointment follows a set sequence: assessment, a look at daily brushing habits, professional cleaning, polishing and fluoride application at the end. For new patients, the slot is noticeably longer than the cleaning itself — time set aside for questions.
A second focus is maintenance therapy after periodontal treatment. Intervals are set individually — not every three months out of routine, but adapted to the current finding and how home care is going.
For anxious patients, the first visit is deliberately low-threshold: conversation first, treatment only when both sides feel ready for it.
