Mafalda says that “being a dentist gave me the opportunity to understand how we can make a big difference in people’s lives by taking care of their smile, especially with their gums.” and her aim is to help patients to improve their self-confidence, involving them in the decision making process at every stage of their treatment.
There is a strong relationship between our gums and general health, that is why Mafalda kept learning beyond dentistry.
Outside the clinical environment, Mafalda really enjoys arts and crafts, photography and travelling.
