Mi nombre es María, soy de Salamanca, España, tengo 32 años y trabajo como higienista bucodental en la clínica del Dr. Javier Sola Alonso, en Valladolid. Siempre he estado interesada en el cuidado de la salud y después de graduarme en secundaria, decidí realizar una formación profesional de auxiliar de enfermería, lo que posteriormente me llevó a inscribirme en higiene bucodental.

Durante mis estudios, aprendí sobre la importancia de la higiene bucodental y cómo prevenir las enfermedades de la cavidad oral, como la caries y la enfermedad periodontal, también aprendí cómo educar a los pacientes sobre la importancia de una buena higiene oral y cómo mantener sus dientes y encías sanos.

Después de obtener mi título de higienista bucodental, me especialicé en técnicas de profilaxis y en la educación de los pacientes sobre cómo mantener una correcta higiene oral, también trabajé en estrecha colaboración con el dentista de la clínica, para diagnosticar y tratar enfermedades dentales en los pacientes, con el tiempo, me convertí en una higienista líder en mi trabajo y comencé a capacitar a otros higienistas sobre nuestras prácticas de cuidados y atención bucodental y sobre nuevas tecnologías, lo que me llevó a ejercer como GBT trainer para EMS.

Me enorgullece proporcionar una atención personalizada y de alta calidad a mis pacientes, me encanta que adquieran unos buenos hábitos, esto les ayuda a mejorar su salud bucodental y general.

En mi tiempo libre, me gusta asistir a conferencias y seminarios para estar al día sobre las últimas tendencias y tecnologías, también disfruto de la lectura, hago ejercicio y estudio sobre nutrición y dietética.

Mein Studium zur dipl. Dentalhygienikerin HF in Zürich, welches ich 2017 abgeschlossen habe, hat mir gezeigt, wie bedeutend wissenschaftliches Arbeiten in der Zahnmedizin ist. Daher kommt auch mein Interesse evidenzbasiert zu arbeiten, Dinge zu hinterfragen und immer breit zu sein neue Wege zu gehen. Die GBT vereint all das, wonach ich immer gesucht habe. Ich erlebe täglich im Praxisalltag, wie viel orale Prävention bei Patienten wirklich bewirken kann. Daran stetig weiterzuarbeiten und gleichzeitig an diesem Erfolgen beteiligt zu sein ist ein großartiges Gefühl und treibt mich an.
