After graduating as a dentist from ACTA, I knew I was not done learning. I wanted to gain more knowledge and develop further. Orofacial pain and tooth wear were two subjects that peaked my interest, already during dental school. During my programme at Oral Health Sciences, I had the unique opportunity to learn more about orofacial pain, sleep apnea and tooth wear. Being the first dentist for the department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction in the OHS was a very special and beautiful experience. During these three years I learned a lot from my team, and I enjoyed working with them.
Due to the collaboration between the departments of the OHS, I obtained more knowledge in the fields of Endodontology, Implantology, Periodontology and Paediatric Dentistry. During the interdisciplinary sessions, our presentation skills and English improved, which contributed to our self-development and social skills. And of course, it is a major plus that the OHS is offered in Amsterdam, my favorite city.
