Design and communication
I’m the team firefighter
Licensedin Graphic Design by the Escola Superior de Artes e Design das Caldas da Rainha, from the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, works the communication ofAClínica Dr. Pedro Mota since 2017. E não podia estar mais realizada, dado que previously worked in a product company less healthy, and nowadays, is in an area fully linked to health, especially prevention, where what has to communicate to people can do really difference. When he accepted the challenge besides working at the clinic, don’t know sure what to expect,because I was going to go freelance, to work full-time in a dental clinic, which in the area of communication is little usual. The truthis thateven today, didn’t have a single free day. Started workingin communication and marketing of the clinic, but currently, does everything a bit. Unfolds in thousand tasks, help in all areas, they say he’s the team firefighter!
It seems that our mouth is in a spa
Dental medicine was present in his life, through his sister, who is an oral hygienist, but not to the point of mastering the theory. But since he joined the field, his relationship with dental medicine has intensified and currently talks about all specialties and topics related to oral health prevention, like a big person! If in the past he would faint at the sight of blood, now he can watch dental surgeries without being affected. He fell in love with dental medicine and it is this feeling that he tries to convey through his communication. Challenge people to reflect on how everything starts in the mouth: “we talk, eat, kiss, chew our nails… our mouth suffers! Doing a regular oral hygiene, avoids more serious problems and it seems that our mouth is in a spa.
Is proud of the fact that, for some years now, the Dr. Pedro Mota Clinic has begun to change mentalities, as the number of patients it receives in pain is already comparable to the number of patients it regularly prevents during their oral hygiene consultation. SThere is some resistance that still exists in the dentist’s chair, recalls a patient who had real panic, so together with her oral hygienist, they arranged a strategy of combat: before the consultation and, already in the office, she does breathing and relaxation exercises. Holy medicine!
Ability to restore quality of life to patients
She specialized in Oral Surgery and Implantology, areas that are based on the ability to realize dreams, by transforming the lives of her patients, both for the functional addition to the smile, and for the aesthetics it provides. With total dedication and persistence in the goal, characteristics that he considers fundamental in the exercise of his profession, says that besides changing smiles, it has the power to restore quality of life to patients, offering them again the possibility to eat, chew and savor food, such as increased confidence and self-esteem.
I like from punk to classical music
Still has the dream of taking a course in Digital Smile Dental, where you can combine your Design training with your passion for Dental Medicine. For this, he only needs a little time, since what’s left over he likes to dedicate to family, socializing with friends at the end of the day, traveling, learning about new cultures and his other passion… the music! He likes to discover new bands. He listens to all kinds of music, there is only one requirement: it has to be good music! And it is this rule that applies in the playlist he makes for the clinic. It’s time to say: “Show me what you hear, I’ll tell you who you are!
