Something about me

Before launching my own dental adventure, i worked as a dentist at several clinics, including Family Dental Care, Doctor of Dental Medicine and the charmingly named Ridchenko Dental Clinic in Ukraine.  

There i learned everything from baby teeth to root canals - and how to keep a straight face when someone says "i only feel pain when i chew"  

My academic journey took off at the Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy where i learned that dentistry is not just about teeth. It is about people.  

Then came more knowledge and a bit of Czech language practice at IPVZ in Prague, where i expanded my skills and realized that Czech patients are not only lovely but also know how to make dental jokes.  

I also dove into Pediatric Dentistry at the Center for Innovative Medical Education where i discovered that working with kids is a mix of patience, puppetry and Pixar-level distraction skills.  

Way back when i began my studies at Mankivska Secondary School, UMS NMMU named after O .O Bohomolets and of course the legendary Bohomolets University when i fell in love with dentistry. And coffee (in that order)

Today i lead Smile centrum with one mission - to make sure that every patient leaves with a smile - even if they arrived terrified.  

Because yes, dentists can be friendly - as long as they know what they are doing and how to tell a good tooth joke  

We don't just fix teeth - we restore confidence and hand out smiles like candy (sugar free, of course haha)
