Erika Mažeikė
Pediatric dentist
Doctor Erika can no longer image daily work without children’s smiles and stories about the “inhabitants” of their teeth, and she chose pediatric dentistry in order to raise a generation of children with no problems with their dental health. It is a difficult, but meaningful work, which is achievable with continuous effort. For this reason, doctor pays special attention to prevention of dental diseases to maintain healthy teeth and avoid dental treatment completely. She treats damaged teeth using restorative materials and crowns. In her work, dr. Erika focuses on two issues most important to her: the patient’s comfort during the procedure and the best possible long-term treatment outcome. She can achieve these goals through her knowledge of child psychology, using magnification at work and constant professional development.
