PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
My clinical career includes several years of academic and practical work at university clinics as well as in private practice:
University Dental Clinic Vienna
Since 2018, I have been working as a dentist in the pediatric dentistry department at the University Dental Clinic Vienna. This role includes outpatient and clinical treatment of complex dental issues in children, caring for patients with dental anxiety, and applying modern, age-appropriate treatment methods based on the latest research.

In addition to my university position, I have extensive experience through regular locum work in private dental practices.

Alongside initial diagnostics, my focus is on identifying and treating orofacial dysfunctions, as well as providing comprehensive advice to accompanying persons on tooth-friendly nutrition and daily oral hygiene.
