Fête du travail des femmes dans le secteur dentaire

À l’origine, la dentisterie, comme d’autres disciplines et spécialités médicales, était principalement pratiquée par des hommes. Il est donc important de reconnaître les pionnières de ce travail à l’occasion du mois de la femme et de la journée des femmes actives, le 8 mars.

Lilian Murray-Lindsay

qui désignait alors la profession de celui qui extrayait les dents et effectuait d’autres travaux dentaires sur la bouche et les dents.

La première femme dont les travaux en dentisterie sont consignés par écrit est l’abbesse bénédictine Hildegard de Bingen, auteur de livres religieux et médicaux dans lesquels elle a consigné ses remèdes pour l’hygiène buccale. Dans l’un de ces ouvrages, elle mentionne la nécessité de drainer les abcès pour faciliter l’élimination du pus à l’aide d’herbes et de chaleur, et l’utilisation de graines de jusquiame pour éliminer les caries.

En Grande-Bretagne, en 1895, Lilian Murray-Lindsay a écrit un livre intitulé Short History of Dentistry et, en 1946, elle a été nommée présidente de la British Dental Association, la première femme à occuper ce poste. Grâce à sa gestion, la bibliothèque est devenue, après sa mort, l’une des meilleures bibliothèques dentaires du monde.

Aux États-Unis, Ida Gray Rollings a été la première dentiste afro-américaine diplômée de la Michigan Dental School et elle a exercé à Chicago.

Les premières dentistes espagnoles

Au XIXe siècle, l’incorporation des femmes dans les collèges dentaires a été légalisée, et c’est ainsi que Maria Rajoó, de Madrid, est devenue la première femme dentiste d’Espagne à exercer sa profession, tandis que Francisca García a été la première femme espagnole à porter le titre nouvellement créé de chirurgien-dentiste, en 1875.

Les femmes dans l’équipe d’Axis Dental

Des techniciens aux concepteurs et aux producteurs, notre équipe est composée d’hommes et de femmes qui excellent dans leur travail et participent à la création de produits de qualité et durables qui donnent entière satisfaction aux dentistes dans les cliniques et les laboratoires.

Tant à notre siège en Suisse que sur les autres sites où nous sommes présents, nous formons une équipe unie, fondée sur l’écoute et le soutien de tous les niveaux de l’organisation. Et puisque nous célébrons le rôle des femmes dans le secteur, nous profitons de l’occasion pour vous présenter la nouvelle venue dans notre équipe de technico-commerciaux en Espagne, Rocío Martínez Cabrera, qui couvre depuis janvier dernier la zone sud, à Malaga et Grenade.

Rocío dit que les autres la définissent comme une personne « ayant du caractère, ainsi que sensible, généreuse, extravertie, optimiste ».  Au travail, Rocío fait preuve de persévérance, d’empathie, d’esprit d’équipe et d’engagement, et elle est toujours prête à trouver des solutions.

Lorsqu’on lui demande ce qui la fait sourire, elle répond avec amusement « les conversations avec mon chien », mais poursuit en mentionnant « les photos d’il y a des années avec la famille et les amis, lorsque quelque chose de bien m’arrive dans la journée et les bonnes nouvelles des personnes que j’aime ».

Bien qu’elle ne soit chez Axis Dental que depuis peu, elle peut déjà donner son appréciation de l’expérience, et avoue : « J’ai vu plus de camaraderie que dans les entreprises où j’ai travaillé pendant 15 ans ». Elle est également surprise par la qualité des produits et par l’attitude des cadres supérieurs qui sont « des leaders qui vous soutiennent et vous motivent ».

The power of smiling: the beneficial effects of smiling

The French physician Guillaume Duchenne de Boulogne described the smile, as early as the 19th century, as “The emotion of sincere joy is expressed on the face by a combined contraction of the zygomaticus major muscle and the orbiculari oculi. The first obeys the will, but the second is only activated by the sweet emotions of the soul. « 

Duchenne insisted, in his statement, the close link between the physical and the emotional in the action of smiling; “False joy, deceptive laughter, cannot cause this last muscle to contract. (…) The muscle that surrounds the eyes does not obey the will; it is only brought into play by a true feeling, a pleasant emotion.

The mirror of the soul

The saying goes that « the face is the mirror of the soul », and following Duchenne’s observations, certainly our facial expressions are the exteriorization of our inner world. In this regard, smiling is one of the most obvious in its significance. The smile is the manifestation of joy, either caused by a spontaneous act or fact that the person experiences at that moment, or as a result of a longer-term emotional state.

According to the psychologist Patricia Ramírez @patri_psicologa, when someone smiles « our mind interprets that it is someone who is trying to make life easier for us, to be kind, fun, and at that moment, we relax and smile back. » Therefore, smiling helps our well-being, contributing to good mental health. At the same time, it has a contagious effect, if someone smiles we smile back, generating positive feelings and acceptance.

Other benefits of smiling are:

  • It helps us to keep the body healthy. Every time we smile, our breathing stays constant and our heart rate drops. This benefits the immune system, making it stronger to fight all kinds of diseases.
  • It improves your mood, since when you smile, serotonin is released, which is the hormone of happiness.
  • Improve social relationships in any context. Smiling is a reflection of a positive attitude that can lead to making new friends or helping to establish new work contacts.

For these reasons, in addition to many others, taking care of our smile should be a priority, as it has been proven to contribute to both mental and physical well-being.

Elevated self-esteem

Many people feel self-conscious about their smile, reaching to cover their mouth when smiling. A mouth with messy teeth or stained by tobacco or coffee consumption are usually the most common reasons that lead many people to a feeling of discontent, complex, and even shame, for their smile. Such inner emotions can lead to insecurities and psychological discomfort, even avoiding smiling in public.

Teeth whitening treatments can be the most immediate remedy to solve a large part of these complex cases, with the result of an improvement in the individual’s self-esteem as well as a bright smile.

At Axis Dental we look after the health of our clients and their patients, for this reason, we have created flexible solutions for teeth whitening treatment that adjust to the patient’s lifestyle and the workflow of dental clinics.

Our two treatment modalities, in the clinic and at home (prior to an appointment at your dental clinic), allow the patient to choose the option that best suits their rhythm and routines in order to complete the treatment and achieve the desired results.
