Today, as Global iMGi Project Manager and Clinical Governance & Implementation Lead for the BOB App at Curaden, Sabina works at the intersection of clinical prevention, patient self-care and implementation.

Through iMGi, she leads international work focused on gingival inflammation management and the implementation of a structured clinical framework. iTOP develops the skills required for effective oral self-care, while iMGi provides the clinical framework that enables dental professionals to integrate those principles consistently into gingival inflammation management.

Her work with the BOB App focuses on clinical governance and international implementation of a digital tool that supports interdental biofilm control, patient communication and continued self-care.

These experiences have increasingly shifted Sabina’s attention towards a wider question: what needs to happen for prevention to become part of how an entire practice thinks, works and delivers care?

Alongside her work at Curaden, Sabina founded Rethinking Prevention™.

Rethinking Prevention grew from a gap she repeatedly encountered throughout her clinical, educational and implementation work: practices can genuinely believe in prevention and have excellent clinical knowledge, yet that philosophy is not always translated into what patients and teams actually experience.

Her approach therefore looks beyond individual techniques or isolated preventive appointments. It considers the complete journey: prevention philosophy, clinical strategy, patient experience, team alignment, communication, environment, workflows, leadership, behaviour change and follow-up.

At the centre of this work is a conviction that has shaped much of Sabina’s career: prevention and especially oral self-care training, is treatment.

For Sabina, professional success therefore goes beyond achieving an excellent clinical result. It also means creating the conditions for patients to develop the skills, confidence and support they need to maintain their oral health over time.

Through Rethinking Prevention™, she works with dental professionals and practices to close the gap between what they believe about prevention and what actually happens, making prevention visible, valued and successful.

Sabina is co-author of Happy Dental Professional Method – How to Rediscover Your Passion, Prevent Burnout, and Truly Thrive in Your Dental Career, a book focused on the person behind the dental professional and on creating a more fulfilling and sustainable professional life.

Her educational work also includes contributions on prevention, oral self-care, patient behaviour and professional development.

Sabina is an international speaker and educator whose lectures connect clinical prevention with implementation, patient behaviour, professional development and practice transformation.

Rather than focusing only on what dental professionals should know, her work increasingly explores what needs to happen for that knowledge to become part of the care patients actually receive.

Her Rethinking Prevention™ work invites dental professionals and practice owners to examine prevention from a different perspective:

Does the prevention your patients experience reflect the philosophy and quality of care you want your practice to stand for?

Her aim is not to give every practice the same prevention model, but to help dental professionals turn their own prevention philosophy into a strategy that can be understood by the team, experienced by the patient and implemented consistently.
