Who We Are?

The Manó Dental pediatric dentistry was founded in 2020 with the goal of creating a high-quality professional community where everyone works every day – from receptionists to dental assistants to pediatric dentists – to ensure that the children (and of course their parents) visiting us feel safe from the moment they step into our clinic. Based on our many years of experience in dentistry, we know that successful treatment is not only the result of high-level medical work, but also of exceptional teamwork that is indispensable for this. Therefore, We work only with professionals who not only have a high level of knowledge and practice, but also love what they do. Our specialists find common ground with the children and teenagers, and their profession is healing.

To create a reassuring environment, it is essential to have an atmosphere that is inviting for children as well. That’s why we designed our entire clinic to be colorful and playful, so that any possible apprehension by the children disappears as soon as they enter our clinic, and they are happy to come back next time because they felt comfortable with us.

 

The team at Manó Dental ensures professional and high-quality care for its patients with the most modern equipment and tools, as well as the best quality dental materials. For any dental problem, whether it’s the appearance of the first teeth, permanent teeth or orthodontics, we warmly welcome your child because prevention is the most important!

flóra

Dr. Flóra Döngölő

Pediatric Dental Specialist, Medical Professional Director

I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University in 2017. After that, I began my specialist training in pediatric dentistry at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Oral Surgery at Semmelweis University. There, in a short period of time, I gained extensive experience and became familiar with not only pediatric dentistry but also various areas of general dentistry. Gaining the trust of children is an integral part of my work in pediatric dentistry, and I enthusiastically and effortlessly work on it every day using playful and relaxed communication techniques. In addition to pediatric dental treatments, my interest lies in endodontics. I continuously develop my knowledge through further training and reading professional literature. I believe that working with children is a very important branch of dentistry, and the highest level of care for children can only be ensured by specially trained professionals.
szalanóra

Dr. Nóra Szala

Pediatric Dental Specialist, Medical Professional Director

I obtained my dental degree from the University of Debrecen, and I began my career in Budapest. Initially, my professional focus was on adult patients, particularly in the areas of aesthetics, full mouth rehabilitation, and dental prosthetics. However, early in my career, I realized that providing care for children presents the greatest and most complex professional challenge. It requires not only advanced psychological knowledge but also the most precise manual skills, performed as quickly as possible and tailored to each age group. Therefore, I chose pediatric dentistry as my official specialty, and I passed my specialist examination with distinction at Semmelweis University, particularly recognized for my own methods within the psychology of pediatric dentistry. As a specialist, my goal is to ensure a perfect smile for every patient, regardless of age. With several years of experience, I apply various fields of dentistry, including aesthetics, conservative dentistry, trauma management, oral surgery, correction of developmental defects with implants or orthodontics, dental prosthetics, and more. My aim is to plan and maintain the integrity and beauty of my young patients’ smiles in the long term, providing necessary prevention and treatment from their preschool years to their retirement age. I enjoy conversing with my young patients, getting to know them, discussing current stories or even teenage issues, and I believe that together, we can overcome the fear of the “scary dentist” at Manó Dental.
antaldóri

Dr. Dóra Antal

Pediatric Dental Specialist

I graduated from Semmelweis University, and later, as a university staff member, I obtained a pediatric dentistry specialization in 2016. Alongside my dental profession, I pursued studies in psycho- and autism spectrum pedagogy, and I am also fluent in Hungarian sign language. It is particularly important to me to provide dental education and integration not only for typically developing children but also for patients with various disabilities and special care needs.

For over a decade and a half, I have worked with children, during which time I have learned a great deal from the younger generation. Together, we can progress toward our dental goals without fear or anxiety. As a mother, I understand how quickly a child’s mood can shift, and I know how valuable a bit of playful interaction and kind words can be in such moments.

táborinóra

Dr. Nóra Tábori

Orthodontist, Pediatric Dental Specialist

I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University. I have been working in the field for decades, initially practicing both pediatric and adult dentistry. Over the years spent in pediatric dentistry practice, I encountered more and more cases requiring orthodontic treatment. Therefore, I found it practical to obtain a specialization in orthodontics alongside pediatric dentistry. I obtained this specialization through training at Semmelweis University as well. Today, the majority of my patients require orthodontic treatment. I am proud to pursue this beautiful and creative profession.
niki

Dr. Nikolett Sebestyén

Pediatric Dentist, Orthodontic Resident

I obtained my dental degree from Semmelweis University. In my childhood, I would probably have laughed heartily if someone had told me that as an adult, a dental clinic would be a place where I feel comfortable and enjoy being. Yet, years later, I can hardly wait to bring healthy and beautiful smiles to the faces of both children and adults alike. I love seeing how easy it is to make various treatments understandable, exciting, and enjoyable for children due to their curiosity. Creating a friendly atmosphere during our meetings helps ensure that the treatment ends quickly and positively for both younger and older patients. For a child who may initially be shy, visiting the dentist can become a natural and comfortable activity, thus laying the foundation for the health of their permanent teeth. I want children who visit us to grow up fearlessly and regularly visit their dentist due to their childhood experiences. In addition to caring for children’s teeth, I also provide conservative dental and prosthetic treatments for adult patients.
Oti

Dr. Otília Osuszd

Pediatric Oral Surgeon

I obtained my dental degree from the Semmelweis University Faculty of Dentistry. I spent my oral surgery residency years at the SE Dental and Oral Surgery Training Institute, where I gained extensive experience in both general dentistry and oral surgery. During my university studies, it became clear to me early on that I was most interested in oral surgery; I also conducted my scientific research and wrote my thesis on oral surgery topics. In my treatments, I strive to create a friendly and calm atmosphere and to prove that oral surgical treatments are not as frightening as commonly believed.

baksa

Dr. Tamás Baksa

Orthodontist

From a young age, I was fascinated by the natural sciences. I am the first in my family to pursue a career in medicine, later followed by my younger sister. I began my professional path in a general dental practice, which allows me to integrate experience from different fields of dentistry into my everyday work.

My personal experiences first drew me toward orthodontics, but I also feel that this branch of dentistry demands the most complex way of thinking. It constantly presents new challenges, making it a field that never becomes monotonous. For me, the most exciting part is designing a new case; I enjoy challenges, and solving more complex cases often resembles working through a logical puzzle.

I believe it is of utmost importance to establish the foundations of a healthy and aesthetic dentition already in childhood, as waiting until the completion of tooth replacement is now considered an outdated approach. I particularly enjoy following through with complex, surgical cases, which I can even envision as my subspecialty within orthodontics in the future.

In addition, I have a strong interest in the digital world, both professionally and in my free time. Because of this, my colleagues often rely on me when it comes to solving IT-related problems. In my work, I find it essential that my patients understand what is happening and why, while also ensuring a reassuring and trusting atmosphere.

My other passion is gastronomy, and in my free time I frequently attend various cooking courses, much to the delight of my family and friends.

nauzika

Dr. Nauzika Petyerák

Pediatric Dentist

My decision to pursue dentistry was sparked by a childhood experience. When I was young, I was afraid of dental check-ups, but it became clear relatively early on that I needed braces. However, the atmosphere at the orthodontic clinic where I received my braces was so friendly that all my fears quickly disappeared, and I grew to enjoy the treatments. It was then that I decided I wanted to become a dentist myself. I obtained my degree from Semmelweis University. During my studies, my focus shifted towards pediatric dentistry. As a child, I often felt afraid in dental clinics; the noises, tools, and equipment can be daunting for a young child. That’s why I believe it’s important in my work to show and explain everything to the little ones so they can see and understand why the intervention is necessary. This approach allows me to start treatments with them in a much more relaxed and cooperative manner. The first dental experience is always crucial in a child’s life, which is why I place special emphasis on the first encounter and building trust. Positive experiences in the clinic help motivate children to take care of their teeth at home and understand the importance of oral hygiene from an early age.
Photoroom_20251213_080350

Dr. Írisz Barbara Naár

Pediatric Dentist

I obtained my degree from the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Szeged. With all my knowledge, I strive to provide the best possible care to my patients, which I believe is based on meticulous, evidence-based dentistry, and successful dentist-patient communication. At the beginning of my career, the majority of my patients were adults, but over time – honored by their trust – they also brought their children and grandchildren. It brings me great joy that these parents and grandparents shared their positive experiences with the children’s classmates’ parents, thus increasing the number of my pediatric patients. In my opinion, kindness, patience, and empathy facilitate cooperation and create a fear-free environment in all age groups. It is important for me to instill and normalize proper dental care, fear-free dental visits every six months, and dental check-ups from childhood. My goal is to turn dental visits for children and slightly older ones into cheerful and smiley experiences rather than scary and tearful ones.
B.Réka

Dr. Réka Beinschróth

Pediatric Dentist

I obtained my dental degree at Semmelweis University. During my childhood, I spent years undergoing orthodontic treatment, where each session took place in a very friendly and cheerful atmosphere that I immediately fell in love with. So, when the time came to choose a career path, there was no question about which direction to take. The world of pediatric dentistry captivated me during my university years; I always admired the genuine curiosity and bravery of children during treatments. Later on, many of my adult patients shared their unpleasant childhood dental experiences and the resulting anxiety they developed. Therefore, it became particularly important to me that the treatment of young patients concludes as a positive experience, so that they can visit their dentist without fear as adults. To achieve this, during treatments, I always strive to create the cheerful atmosphere that I experienced as a child.
veressgabi

Dr. Gabriella Veress

Pediatric Dentist

Already in my childhood, my grandfather and grandmother encouraged me to choose the dental profession, so eventually, I ended up at the Faculty of Dentistry of Semmelweis University. During my university years, I was interested in the care of both adults and children; I tried to experience everything, but in real life, my heart increasingly leaned toward pediatric dentistry. In my practice, I welcome both the youngest little ones and older children alike. I believe that having my own beautiful little girl as a mother gives me a significant advantage in gaining children’s trust during treatments. From my own experience, I know the difficulties that a parent has to face every day. I feel this contributes to my connection with both children and parents. I enjoy making friends with my little patients, thereby creating a safe environment for them. From my experience, with kindness, patience, and precision, we can overcome fear together so that every child leaves the dental office with a smile.

marczinóri

Dr. Nóra Marczi

Pediatric Dentist

I obtained my dental degree from Semmelweis University, and afterwards, I began working as a pediatric dentistry resident at the Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Teaching Institute. While I always knew I wanted to be a dentist, it never occurred to me initially that I would want to work with children. However, during my university years, it became clear to me that working with them is entirely different in dentistry, and this specialization resonated with me the most. I consider prevention and joint attention to children’s oral health to be very important. It is always a great experience to see a fearful child trembling when they first come into the clinic, and after a few sessions, they come in as if it were their favorite place. I always try to show and explain everything so that they are not taken by surprise by any intervention. Effective treatment requires good cooperation with the little ones, thus creating the appropriate, friendly atmosphere. I believe continuous professional development is essential, and my goal is to turn my young patients into health-conscious adults. I believe that dentistry can be cheerful, and it can be a fairy tale world and a good experience even for the youngest ones.
adorjándia

Dr. Diána Adorján

Pediatric Dentist

I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University, after which I began my orthodontic residency training. I currently work in a university clinical environment, where I strive every day to further deepen my knowledge and experience.

The world of pediatric dentistry has always been especially close to my heart — partly for personal reasons. My grandmother worked as a pediatric dentist, and as a little girl, I spent a lot of time in her office. In my profession, I aim to make the dental chair a place of safety and playfulness rather than fear for children. I believe that patience, empathy, and a trust-based relationship are the keys to making dentistry not just a necessity, but a positive experience.

balázskata

Dr. Katalin Balázs

Pediatric Dentist

I earned my dental degree from Semmelweis University in 2020. I believe that pediatric dentistry is not only about treatments, but also about building trust — these early experiences shape how children will relate to dentists for the rest of their lives. Early, playful interventions help establish proper oral hygiene habits and harmonious facial development, which can prevent, shorten, or make future treatments less invasive. My goal is for every young patient to have a positive experience during their dental visit. With patience, kindness, and age-appropriate communication, I create a safe and friendly atmosphere where children learn that the dentist works for them, not against them. Early prevention is an investment in the future: every confident smile begins in childhood.

IMG_9473

Dr. Ildikó Bundi

Pediatric Dentist, Orthodontist

I obtained my dental degree from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University in Budapest.
Following this, I completed my orthodontic residency in a mixed district dental practice, where I treated a large number of children and also carried out numerous school dental screenings.

My career choice was greatly influenced by the fact that I myself was treated by a very kind orthodontist. As a result, I made it my goal to become the kind of dentist I would have gladly visited as a child.

I believe that healing does not begin in the dental chair, but with building trust. For me, the greatest success is when an anxious child leaves the practice smiling at the end of a treatment.

My most important principle is prevention and starting treatment at the right time. Positive experiences in childhood lay the foundation for conscious, health-oriented behavior in adulthood. I continuously further my education to provide the most modern and efficient solutions for all my patients, from the youngest to the oldest.

I was born in Ukraine, but I moved to Hungary almost three decades ago. I have been living here ever since, and I speak Ukrainian, Russian, and Hungarian fluently. For the past 25 years, I have worked as a dental assistant, initially in a mixed practice where I gained early insight into children’s dental care. It is an honor for me to work at Manó Dental Children’s Dentistry because I love working with children. I always feel energized when I see the sparkling little eyes as they receive their well-deserved certificate at the end of the treatment, which they earned by overcoming their initial fears. I also have a grown-up daughter who graduated in law in Japan on a scholarship and is now preparing to start a family there. I am very proud of her.

Fruzsina Albert

Dental Assistant, Dental Hygienist

I worked for several years at the Semmelweis University Dental and Oral Surgery Teaching Institute as a dental assistant and dental hygienist. Here, I gained a lot of knowledge and experience and had the opportunity to gain insight into various areas of dentistry. During this time, the treatments were mostly focused on adult patients. When I joined the Manó Dental team, a whole new world of dentistry opened up for me, as I rarely encountered such little ones in the clinic. Here, everything truly revolves around the children and serves to ensure their little safety. It’s like a big playground filled with exciting things. Finding common ground with the children has never been difficult for me. I love their little world and their honesty. I believe that first experiences are very important, as they shape their future attitudes toward dentistry. During appointments, I strive to create a friendly atmosphere so that they do not perceive dental treatments as a trauma but rather as an exciting game. I am happy to be part of the Manó Dental team.

This is why I am so happy to have joined the Manó Dental team. I strive to create a cheerful atmosphere for the children during treatments. I believe it is important that, together with the parents and the children, we can overcome any fears or anxieties that the little ones visiting us may have, and earn their trust so that they will come to us happily and confidently next time. In my free time, I enjoy baking, hiking, and meeting with my friends.

I have been working as an assistant in a dental environment for several years and realized that this is the atmosphere where I truly feel comfortable.

I am very happy to finally be able to work among children.

sárossytímea

Tímea Sárossy

Dental Assistant

Ever since elementary school, when I attended a first aid club, I became fascinated by the world of healthcare. Although the atmosphere of a dental clinic initially seemed intimidating, getting my first braces and regularly attending treatments made me fall in love with it so much that I decided I wanted to work in the field of dentistry. I was completely captivated by this world and never imagined I would be so lucky to find a profession I truly love.

I see it as my mission to create a calm environment, assist the doctors, and gain children’s trust so they leave the clinic with a positive experience and happily return next time. I am delighted to have joined the Manó Dental team, as it has always been my dream to work in pediatric dentistry and help the little ones.

Nóra Motyovszki

front office assistant

Around the turn of the millennium, I worked as a flight attendant for nearly a decade and a half at Malév. During this time, I had the opportunity to travel to numerous places from New York to Bangkok. Besides seeing the world, I gained experiences that I can perfectly utilize at Manó Dental as well. Just as I helped passengers overcome their anxieties during flights, I can also assist children who come to us. It always fills me with immense happiness when the more apprehensive children arrive at my reception desk after a treatment, smiling and clutching their bravery certificates. As a mother of two adorable daughters, I easily connect with children. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, running, and walking our dog, Nina.

Ivett Jóni

front office assistant

I’ve actually always worked in this position; I initially loved working at hotel receptions. It’s an extremely responsible role because I am the first impression of the clinic for the little patients and their parents. That’s why I do everything to create a positive atmosphere from the very first moment with my always smiling personality. In my free time, I love cooking, baking, and hanging out with my friends. Additionally, I enjoy learning languages; I speak English and Spanish fluently.

Nikoletta Gál-Rózsa

front office assistant

Since 2019, I have been working as a dental patient coordinator, and in this role I have truly found my vocation. Every day, I witness firsthand the dedicated work my colleagues do to help children.

It is close to my heart that the little patients who come to us step into a friendly environment where they can wait calmly and prepare for their treatment. It is important to me that they are able to take their first steps in the dental office with confidence and courage.

My greatest joy is when they leave the treatment with a smile, proudly telling how brave they were, and happily showing what they received from the doctor. One of the most beautiful moments is when a child hugs me goodbye and leaves with a beaming smile.

horváthéva

Éva Horváth

front office assistant

Since 2015, I have been working in dentistry as a patient coordinator and receptionist.
I enjoy this work because it always brings new challenges: organization, communication, and a wide variety of tasks.

Pediatric dentistry is quite different from treating adults – it requires much more empathy, attention, and care. Here, it is not only the little patients who need special attention, but supporting the parents is also very important. I strive to apply the knowledge and experience I have gained through my training every single day.

With a kind word or a short conversation, I always try to ease tension, and it gives me great joy when children leave our clinic smiling and proud after their treatment.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family and my dog. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and doing sports.

This is my first job as a receptionist, and I’m absolutely delighted that I could start working in such a friendly, child-focused clinic. I’ve always loved children, so it’s a true joy for me to welcome smiling faces every day and to be part of those moments when little ones walk out of the office proudly and happily.

Before coming here, I worked in hospitality for three years, where I learned a lot about the importance of kindness, patience, and attentiveness. Now I can put those experiences to use as part of the Manó Dental team.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, sports, baking and cooking, and spending time with my family and friends.

When you visit us, I’ll be the first person you see — I’ll do my best to answer all your questions and to make your visit as pleasant as possible!
