My mother recognized my passion for chemistry and the human body and guided me towards medicine. I chose Dentistry because it seemed more attractive to me.

I have 1-2 appointments in the morning, then I go pick up my son from school and try to spend some time with my wife and kids. Then I go back to the office and work until late evening with short pauses for rest and eating.

Seeing people smile in an ever-changing world and making a small contribution to their overall health.

It became more and more digitalized and in most ways that's a good thing. You have to keep up!

Probably the magnification systems. I am a big fan of loupes. So far I haven't bought a dental microscope but I will probably make that purchase some day.

Do the best work you can do and live your best life. Don't follow obsessively the money, just make great dental work and good things will follow.

Corporatization in my opinion. Not a big fan of that. For some dentists it works for some it doesn't. I think it takes the personal touch out of the dentist-patient relationship.

I follow everything. Every website, every newsletter, every Facebook page, YouTube channel, magazine, you name it. It's an exaggeration, of course, but you get the idea.

I am a big fan of recorder online courses because you can watch them in your own pace and in your own free time. Other than that the big FDI events and generally I would recommend going to at least 2-3 big conferences every year.

Well hopefully AI will not play a huge part in the future of dentistry although it does bring some advantages. I would like to see better and better imaging solutions. Just recently Dentsply Sirona released the first dental-specific MRI machine, so that's exciting. Better imaging helps with better diagnostics and better results. Hopefully the dental offices of the future will have access to amazing and affordable imaging technologies to provide better treatments for the patients.
