Vast international experience in Denmark, Germany and Dubai have given me unique opportunities to execute a non-compromising, state-of-the-art, evidence based treatment concept, which I intend to continue in Farha Clinics Children Centre.

The evidence based concept has a particular impact when treating children: The Scandinavian model of minimizing psychological traumas resulted in the world-wide highest dental health of children and adolescents.

During a 35-year career as general dentist, I have additionally developed particular interests and skills in endodontics and prosthodontics.
