My research is focusing on the behavioral-based treatment and methods in primary dental care. The wider aim of the investigation is to find new solutions for treatment paths and effective methods for dentally anxious in primary dental care. Furthermore, I find it important to teach behavioural approaches for dental anxiety described in studies, dentist-patient interaction and co-operating with other professionals in teams in the context of dentistry. In teaching, I utilize different teaching  metohds and peer group learning.
