MEET DENTAL NURSE MONIKA KLUSEK-KOZLOWSKA
Monika Klusek-Kozlowska was born in Poland where she went to school and graduated from university. For as long as she can remember she’s wanted to work with people. She dreamed of being an ombudsman so she could protect human rights. If she had a magic wand she’d ensure we all protected the planet, and she’d put an end to hatred, poverty and find a cure for dangerous diseases.
Fortunately for the dental patients in Peterborough, Monika Klusek-Kozlowska decided to put all her positive energy and her ambition to save mankind and the planet into her career as a dental nurse at WeCare Dental, where she helps as many people as she can.
She lives in Peterborough with the most important people in her life, her children Noel and Samuel and husband, Krzysztof.

ADVICE FROM THE DENTAL NURSE
What advice would you offer to nervous patients?
I believe that even the greatest fear should not prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Often the fear that exists in relation to dental procedures is left over from childhood trauma. In our practice, we offer patients conscious sedation. This is really an excellent option for those people who simply cannot overcome their fear of dental treatment. It makes things a lot more bearable and a lot more comfortable.

What’s the worst mistake people make when it comes to oral care?
Many of us neglect our daily activities due to the lack of knowledge and skills necessary for good oral hygiene. For example, a lot of people see bleeding gums and stop brushing, thinking they are doing the right thing – unfortunately nothing could be more wrong. If your gums bleed it’s due to the presence of bacteria which has caused swelling. This is a sign of gum disease and an indication that you’re not brushing enough or not brushing effectively.

Your top tips for healthy teeth and gums?
Use a proper technique to brush: Use only a pea-sized amount of tooth paste, brush in gentle circular movements, ensuring you pay attention to all surfaces. You can use a back and forth motion, lightly on the teeth’s chewing surfaces.
Spend enough time brushing: Spend at least two minutes twice a day.
Floss or use interdental brushes.
Don’t rinse the toothpaste out of your mouth after brushing, just spit. This ensures that the fluoride remains in contact with the enamel thereby protecting your teeth.
Don’t neglect your visits to the dentist and hygienist; regular dental checkups and descaling and polishing by a professional hygienist are the keys to keeping healthy teeth and gums.
Dentistry has changed radically over the past few decades – what is the most significant change you’ve seen when comparing the dental experiences of your childhood to those you’ve experienced or witnessed at WeCare Dental?
Modern technology has expanded the variety of possibilities offered by dentistry today when compared to decades ago. For me, the most significant change is the availability of pain-free procedures.
In your opinion, what makes WeCare Dental different?
WeCare Dental is a clinically advanced practice. We use the very latest dental technology available.
