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.

Benjamin ist seit 2022 Mitglied des deutschen SDA Trainer Teams. Er hat seine Ausbildung zum ZFA im Jahr 2004 abgeschlossen und ist seit 2007 als Dentalhygieniker in verschiedenen Praxen tätig. Seitdem hat er sein Wissen durch zahlreiche Fortbildungen erweitert. Neben seiner Trainertätigkeit bei der SDA arbeitet er derzeit in zwei Praxen. Seine Schwerpunkte sind neben GBT, PAR und UPT auch das Praxismanagement sowie die Leitung der Prophylaxeabteilungen. Bereits früh entdeckte er die Freude und Begeisterung an der Vermittlung von Wissen in den Bereichen Prophylaxe und Mundhygiene gegenüber Patienten*innen und Kollegen*innen, aber auch bezüglich der Funktionsweise neuer Systeme – und Arbeitstechniken oder effektiver Praxisabläufe. Er versteht es, den richtigen Ton zu treffen und Inhalte spielerisch zu vermitteln. Sein oberstes Ziel ist die Prävention von oralen Erkrankungen und somit auch die Erhaltung der allgemeinen Gesundheit seiner Patient*innen. Dabei ist die GBT ein wesentlicher Bestandteil seiner täglichen Arbeit.

 

Benjamin ist hoch motiviert und versteht es, Wissensinhalte interessant und verständlich zu vermitteln und auf individuelle Fragen und Belange der Zuhörer*innen einzugehen.
