Patient communication is vital to Claudia. She shared in Private Dentistry magazine:
‘Firstly you have to find out what the patient’s objectives are, be it aesthetics, pain etc. Then
take a good history-medical, dental, social etc to establish the risk factors and carry out a thorough examination. It is imperative to be able to communicate effectively with patients, understand their needs and increase patient satisfaction,’ she explains. ‘I spend a lot of time conversing with the patient and this breaks down barriers and empowers them to achieve and maintain optimal dental health. It is important to listen to the patient and have empathy.’She believes education is key to managing gum disease. ‘It is important that the patient understands how and why they have the disease, what can realistically be achieved, their role in the management -regular attendance, motivated behaviour and improved oral hygiene. I also try to motivate them every step of the way of their accomplishments.’

How it all started?
It was in 2005 that Claudia started the journey that was to shape her career – an MSc/MClin Dent/MRD course in Periodontology at Guy’s. However, Claudia wasn’t always set on a career in this field. ‘I was initially interested in medicine as a child. For years I could not decide if I wanted to be a doctor or a midwife. I undertook work experience placements including shadowing a general dentist and Mr Martin Kelleher at King’s. I was truly inspired and it ignited a passion for dentistry in me. I liked the fact that you could combine science, health and creating beautiful work. It seemed at that time to be a better quality of life than medicine – I liked the job flexibility and that you could be your own boss.’‘I thoroughly enjoyed treating periodontal patients as a general dentist and wanted to improve my skills on a personal level to deliver the best care to my patients,’ says Claudia. ‘I felt that I was gaining limited success with my non-surgical treatment. I appreciated that it is important to have healthy foundations for not just a ‘beautiful smile’ but critical to the other areas of dentistry. Also more evidence was emerging around the links between oral health and general health that I found fascinating’.
The lessons Claudia learned
Claudia says she has learnt many lessons during her dental career. ‘The main ones are to never assume anything and to be comfortable with being
uncomfortable,’ she explains. ‘I have learnt that if you stay in your comfort zone you will not get very far. If you do what you have always done you will get what you have always gotten. I have learnt the importance of building relationships with colleagues and patients and also boundaries.The power of saying no and still being respected. Also another major one: ‘If you do not ask you do not get’.‘I am a lot better than I used to be at time management, especially juggling different practices (different teams, work ethics, types of patients).I have also learnt that sometimes it is important to delegate and make sure people feel appreciated. I have learnt to be an ‘early-bird’ instead of a night owl and spend the first part of my day in prayer time to focus my mind then I ask myself what are the three most important things I have to do today and mainly focus on that. I have priority lists and other lists that I try to make sure I complete by a certain time.’‘One of my mottos is that hindsight is a blessed thing and the reality is that every ‘challenge’ has been a learning experience that has moulded me into the person I am today. Everything happens for a reason and good things come from challenging experiences.
‘My main plans are to continue learning and being the best periodontist that I can be, delivering excellent services to my patients. I hope I can help dentists and hygienists with periodontal training and advice.’
