I research dental care for children and adolescents, with a special focus on gum diseases. Through clinical studies and collaboration with Danish municipal dental care, my goal is to improve treatments for children and families. My research helps diagnose diseases in children and adolescents at an early stage, allowing for gentler treatments.

Additionally, I have an oral microbiology research line focused on optimizing methods to detect and study antibiotic resistance in oral bacteria. Ultimately, the results contribute to more personalized patient care.

I teach pediatric dentistry, microbiology, clinical hygiene, and periodontology. It’s important to me that students gain a deep understanding of both clinical and theoretical aspects. Therefore, I use various teaching methods with a focus on active student participation and feedback. I have also developed peer-feedback elements in the clinic, guidelines for treating children and adolescents with periodontal diseases, and videos on infection hygiene and proper clinical behavior. Additionally, I have contributed to the development of the master’s part of a new curriculum in dentistry as the coordinator for one of five working groups
