Dentalhygienikerin Veronika ist eine passionierte GBT Anwenderin, weshalb sie diese Begeisterung als GBT Trainerin in Praxistrainings weitergibt. Für Veronika selbst ist das oberste Ziel, ihre Patient*innen auf dem höchsten Niveau zu betreuen und andere Fachkräfte zu diesem hohen Niveau zu motivieren. Aus diesem Grund ging sie den Weg der Dentalhygienikerin und absolvierte 2019-2021 das Bachelorstudium Dentalhygiene und Präventionsmanagement in Köln und ist seitdem auch für die Ausbildung angehender zahnmedizinischer Prophylaxeassistent*innen und Dentalhygieniker*innen in einem Fortbildungsinstitut tätig.  Um das Fachwissen stets aufrecht zu erhalten und immer auf dem neusten Stand der Wissenschaft zu bleiben, besucht sie selbst gerne Fort- und Weiterbildungen in allen Bereichen rund um die Zahnmedizin.

Mit meinem Abschluss zur ZFA 2003 begann der Einstieg in meinen absoluten Traumjob, seit dem führe ich eine durchgängige Praxistätigkeit, unter anderem in Schwerpunktpraxen auf Parodontologie, Implantologie und CMD. Ich sammelte sehr viel Praxiserfahrung und besuchte Zahnärztetage und Fortbildungen. 2015 absolvierte ich meine Aufstiegsfortbildung zur ZMP an der Uniklinik Leipzig und verfolgte mit großem Ehrgeiz im Anschluss 2019 meine Dentalhygienikerin Ausbildung an der Universität Witten Herdecke mit anschließender Bachelorarbeit. Seit 2016 arbeite ich nach dem evidenzbasierten 8 Schritte GBT Protokoll und wachse stetig mit neuen Herausforderungen.

Mir ist es vor allem wichtig meine Patienten minimal invasiv und maximal präventiv über eine lange solide Behandlung zu betreuen und dies gelingt mir jeden Tag aufs Neue - mit der GBT nahezu perfekt. Seit 2020 begleite ich an der LZKS viele Mitarbeiterkurse als Referentin und bin im Prüfungsausschuss für die Durchführung der ZMP aktiv.

2022 absolvierte ich meinen Betriebswirt der Zahnmedizin und begann meine Tätigkeit als GBT Trainerin in der SDA mit ganzem Herzen.

Rosario Rodríguez, soy higienista dental desde hace más de 10 años.

Actualmente trabajo en Sevilla, en clínica Palomares Dental, donde me dedico al tratamiento de enfermedades periodontales.

En marzo de 2022 comencé una experiencia maravillosa como GBT Trainer.

Me encanta poder compartir mi tiempo dando formaciones a otras compañeras y seguir conservando mi puesto de trabajo, ayudando a persona a mejorar su calidad de vida.

Nach meinem Abschluss zur Zahnarzthelferin 1998 habe ich mich für den Bereich Prophylaxe entschieden. Selbstständiges Arbeiten macht mir Spaß, und so ging mein Weg über ZMP zur DH weiter. Als ich die Leitung einer Prophylaxe Abteilung übernahm, machte ich noch eine Weiterbildung zur Prophylaxe Managerin der IHK. Um meine Patienten intensiver unterstützen zu können, entschied ich mich noch die Weiterbildung zur dentalen Ernährungsberaterin zu absolvieren. Neben meiner Tätigkeit als GBT Trainerin der SDA bin ich in Teilzeit in München als DH angestellt. Somit dreht sich mein berufliches Leben um Zähne und GBT. Ich bin ein großer GBT Fan, weil es ein Benefit für Patient und Behandler ist. Und wenn ich nicht mit der Zahngesundheit beschäftigt bin, dann sitze ich auf dem Fahrrad und genieße die Natur.
