“I am engaged in orthodontics: I make children’s devices for leveling teeth and bite. My dad is a dentist; my mother is also a doctor, so I walked in their footsteps. Although after school immediately joined ZhVINU (Zaporizhzhia Military Institute named after Koroliov National Aviation University – pr. Ed.), But I realized that it was not mine, and after the first year I took papers and went to the medical school ”
“I grew up in this clinic! When I was not where to go, the parents took with them to work. Therefore, I, in contrast to other children, these walls, offices, armchairs, machine noises have never caused fear (Laughs) “
“The fact that children are afraid to go to the dentist – the wrong parents’ position! They always say: “Here you will not brush your teeth, go to the doctor!” – And the child already at the subconscious level, the impression that he will hurt him now. You cannot do this! ”
“I usually make two plates per day. The structure is budget, so people and orders are always enough. Of course, this work is very tumultuous, monotonous, needs logical thinking and skill of hands. But I like it! And, of course, they are happy with the end result (including through my efforts (Smiling) – in a small amount of time, patients have healthy levels of teeth: they do not hesitate to smile, but I’m glad to give people a smile»
“Many people mistakenly believe that milk teeth do not require careful care. That is, if a child’s tooth is spoiled, they think nothing terrible: soon he shakes and “grandmother’s method” with the help of his thread will break it out. Actually, no! Keep track of teeth from childhood. From six months, as soon as the babies cut through the first claw, it should be followed by him. At least take a swab or a tampon and wipe with boiled water. Now there is a lot of brushes, paste, in which the minimum fluoride. For the small ones there is a cool silicone toothbrush that is put on the finger of mom or dad. The main thing – to teach children to hygiene procedures as early as possible! ”
“Sweets can, of course, be eaten, but it is desirable to do it immediately after meals, not in breaks between meals, or to replace them with breakfast or lunch at all. And, after consuming sweet, it is desirable at least to rinse the oral cavity»
“Keep your teeth from childhood! 3-minute cleaning, regular preventive examinations, timely diagnosis – and you do not have to wear dentures in old age. Believe me, you are now using such modern methods of treatment that you do not feel any pain at all. ”
“Our doctors are qualified psychologists and are able to find a common language with children. Of course, there are cases when no persuasion is pumped, and then they have to resort to the radical method of “Crocodile”: the doctor and nurse come to the aid of an expander (Smiling). Although this is not always effective. There was once such a precedent: the boy bit the surgeon for a finger and fled»
“The ideal age for eliminating defects in the oral cavity is 12-13 years, that is, when permanent teeth have grown. Of course, you can correct it at an older age. The bracket theme is now very popular. If earlier, few people were worn because of dearness, or simply shy of iron in their mouths, now they are worn by everyone who has some disadvantages, bugged with bite. However, it’s best to do it until 25 years old»
“Apparently, it’s already professional, but the first thing I pay attention to is a smile. True, from the first time I see a girl, and right away I look at her teeth. Here’s my trouble (Smiles). And in general, I value the honesty and kindness in people»
“We have the cheapest city in the prosthetics of teeth. We come to Kiev for treatment, from Lviv. I know a lot from Israel, from Italy »
“Zhytomyr is my birthplace, a city where I was born and grew up. My parents, friends, live here, everything is here! I’m not going to change it. I love it!”
