40 years of experience for a new vision of dental care

From the very beginning, I have been deeply affected by patients' pain. The idea of causing pain, or even being confronted with their fear of pain, was unbearable to me. This sensitivity became a standard to uphold, and the driving force behind an unwavering question: How can we provide high-quality care without pain, neither for the patient nor for the practitioner?

For more than forty years, I practiced closely alongside patients, first as a general practitioner, then dedicating myself to the most complex situations in endodontics and implantology. Driven by a constant desire to progress and always do better, I explored every possible training path. My teachers, my inspirations, and even my failures shaped my practice, before I became a trainer myself, first by chance, then with growing passion as I continued learning.

It is through teaching that I learned the most: to transmit is to deepen, to observe, to structure, and to understand differently. For twenty-eight years, I have had the privilege of training thousands of practitioners, in France and internationally: endodontics, anesthesia, patient communication, chair-side posture, and many other topics.

My path has never been limited to the dental office: training, research and development, editorial direction of a professional journal, conferences, coaching, and roles in decision-making, negotiation and communication within representative bodies at local, national and international levels.

This diversity is no accident: it reflects a continuous curiosity and a 360° vision of the profession.

Clinician, trainer, teacher, author, researcher, editor, auditor, lecturer, consultant, coach, designer, mediator… Each of these experiences, successive or simultaneous, completed a piece of the puzzle, ultimately shaping a unique, global and integrated approach, both technical and human, to dental care: ZerØ Pain Dentistry®.
