Where did you study?
I studied dentistry at ACTA in Amsterdam.
Why did you pick dentistry?
Well, in addition to the fact that I’m very technical, I always wanted to work with my hands. These two skills and the fact that I enjoy helping people, and want to do something for them, meant that the choice to study dentistry was a quick and easy decision.
Why did you want to be a dentist at Tandarts Jordaan?
Tandarts Jordaan is a modern practice where you work with all the newest techniques. Because I had already worked as an assistant here for a number of years, I already knew that it was a nice, warm team. After I finished my dentistry studies, I asked if I could stay on as a dentist.
Do you have a special affinity for one area of dentistry? If so, which and why?
I find repairing wear/restorative dentistry really enjoyable to do. In restorative dentistry you’re busy with the shape, function and aesthetics of the teeth. Often, you’re really helping the patient to a transformation.
Can you still remember your childhood dentist? What were they like?
My first dentist was the school dentist, I still remember him very clearly. He was a really humorous guy, during the check-ups we often played tricks on each other. That meant I really enjoyed going to the dentist. He was the first person to get me enthusiastic about dentistry.
How do you look after your teeth?
I always brush twice a day!
But I still snack. A bag of crisps is not safe in my vicinity; if they’re there, I’m gonna eat ‘em.
What did you want to be when you were little?
I always wanted to be a dentist!
What part of your work gives you the most satisfaction?
When patients come in with complaints and I can really help them. If a patient leaves again with a smile that makes me feel great. I’ll always happily do my best for that.
What do you do to make sure every patient leaves satisfied?
In addition to a full and clear explanation, I always make plenty of time for my patients.
What biases against dentists would you like to see vanish?
That dentists are happy every time they discover a cavity because it offers them an opportunity to make some extra money.
Why would you suggest Tandarts Jordaan to prospective patients?
Tandarts Jordaan is a super-modern practice, where high-quality care is number one. The dentists will always take time for you.
What is your top tip for looking after one’s teeth?
Brush twice a day and, above all, don’t forget the toothpicks!!!
