EP#4 - Empowering patients: effective strategies for oral hygiene instruction - Binta Visser

In this episode, we speak with Binta Visser, a Berlin-based dental hygienist and Swiss Dental Academy (SDA) trainer, about one of the biggest challenges in preventive dentistry: keeping patients motivated over time. Binta explains why prevention rarely fails due to a lack of knowledge - it fails when motivation fades - and shares practical ways to build trust, reduce dental anxiety, and create lasting behaviour change. We also explore how Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) supports a more comfortable, minimally invasive patient experience, and how biofilm disclosure makes oral health visible and helps patients understand exactly where to focus at home. Join us for a practical conversation on GBT, prevention, patient engagement, and oral health habits. Because we’re not just cleaning teeth: we motivate and help patients keep their smiles healthy for life.
