Data safety



This happened to me on Friday. - said Attila Knott. After I had arrived home from my workplace I wanted to write some important letters.

I switched on the computer, it started working but then I heard strange sounds coming from the machine. It started to buzz and clack so I switched it off soon and phoned one of my computer engineer friends.
Unfortunately, he had gone on holiday that weekend so I was standing there with a computer out of order and with a lot of work must be done.

At last I found a computer service working at the weekend, too and I took the machine there. – said Attila Knott.

After a long examination it turned out that the hard drive had gone wrong. This meant that all of my work and all the data lost including Kreativ Dental reviews written by patient. Luckily at the clinic we're using a professional backup system. 

Of course the possibility of data saving was offered but it would cost a lot of money and would take a lot of time. Thus there remained the anger because I had to start everything from the beginning.
It’s for sure that I can draw a big lesson from this case:


  1. You have to make a backup copy from every important document.
  2.  It is worth developing the most important photos. I dread to think how many beautiful memories of ours are lost.
  3. A special system should be worked out by specialists that can let data be secured on another device.


This time people can realise that how difficult can be our life without a computer. It is netting our everyday life. For example, nowadays we rarely use handwriting and we almost forget it. And if the machine goes wrong our whole life can be ‘destroyed’. Our important photos, documents, letters, addresses and data can be lost. –said Attila Knott.

Together at Kreativ Dental

On our family day we make lunch together, too. Last year we cooked Goulash with bean (babgulyás) in pot. It was so delicious that we keep on saying how fantastic it was. We asked our women colleagues to bake some cakes at home to have dessert after the meal. – said Attila Knott.

After the stodge meal we could have a rest. For the children we organised art and craft activities. There was a possibility to try glass painting, to make paper animals or flowers or to make wall pictures. Painting pebbles was a big hit and we, adults, also tried it gladly. - he added

After these activities the Alma zenekar (Apple Band) had a short concert. It was great to see how they could entertain the smallest kids as well. What is more, adults could latch on to singing some familiar songs.

While children had a lot of fun doing things organised for them, adults spent their time with talking and having drinks and beer.

We often organize family outings, too. – said Mr. Knott.

This year we are organising a trip to the Csillagösvény(‘Starpath’) in Ópusztaszer . This is a kind of theme park based on the theme of the labyrinths’. Through the mazes several logical tasks, folk toys and games are offered by the organisers. Next to the maze there is a brilliant playground, too.- told Attila.

I hope many colleagues of us and their families can come to this trip and with this event we can give them a wonderful experience as a present.

Our patients have wonderful experiences too, of course. Just check out a few of our reviews here http://www.whatclinic.com/dentists/hungary/budapest/kreativ-dental-clinic/reviews

Future improvements at Kreativ Dental based on patient reviews

Before the treatment our patients are fully informed about their following medical procedures. Our doctors also tell that what effects can occur after certain treatments.

Our main aim is that our patients’ own teeth remain because these basics are the best to build up a new tooth on. –said Attila Knott.

During the dental treatments our doctors keep context with the patients. They tell what dental treatments are being done at that moment for example he/she explains that the patient will feel a little air in his or her mouth.- said Attila Knott.

Before starting the treatments it is made clear that if any problem arises, for example the patient feels pain etc., he or she is asked to put his/her hand up and the doctor stops the treatment to solve the problem.

During the treatments there will be a possibility to listen to music. Our patients will be able to decide how she or he wants to do this. They can choose from headphones or low music playing from the background. There is a wide range of music (more than 1000 albums) to select from. What is more, we plan to have the option of listening to the patient's own music.-said Attila Knott.

Once we had an extreme case when a Swedish young man asked to watch an action film during the treatment. We were surprised but, of course, we tried to comply with his request. This is where the idea came from.

The things mentioned above show that we try to do our best to make the dental treatments more pleasant. We care about the temperature and lighting of the dentist’s surgery and we really want our patients feel themselves home. - told Attila Knott.

At the end of the treatments our patients will get a photo of before and after the treatment. This shows clearly how beautiful someone's face can be with healthy teeth .

We try to keep contact with our patients after the treatments and we send them e-mails with newsletters and follow-up letters. - said Attila Knott.

Family day at Kreativ Dental

For us it is very important that our colleagues feel well in their workplace. And it is also vital that their family members feel satisfaction about the working conditions. Because if children see that their mother goes working gladly it is likely that they will follow this example and their attitude towards work will be better.-said Attila Knott.

Unfortunately I feel many times that the Hungarian society does not appreciate workforce, and we want to change this attitude. We would like to achieve our employees to be proud of working here.-told Attila.
Besides employees we consider family is essential. Every year we hold a family day where we wait our workers with different kinds of programs.

In 2013 we organised a family day in our institution. This time family members of our colleagues can see the place where their relatives spend their working days. Especially children are curious of how the place looks like where mummy or daddy goes working everyday, the people who are talked about at home by their parents. –said Mr. Knott.

He also told that after seeing the building itself a family competition started where family teams tried a fall with other family teams in different funny tasks.

We tried to put that kind of tasks which connect to dental things. For example, who can brush the model teeth in the shortest time in the most perfect way? In one of the tasks there were two teams. One was the Dentists’ the other was the Teeth’s team.  Which team was stronger? Did the Dentist’s team manage to pull the ‘bad teeth’?

In 2013 the winner of the competition was the Horváth family. Their prize was free admissions to the Tropicarium.

How it happens at Kreativ Dental Budapest - for dentists, dental technicians, assistants...

Besides the massage it is also important to mention that there is a possibility of having therapy session.-said Attila Knott.

These days one of our colleagues is studying therapy and she leads therapy sessions as practice in our clinic.
During these sessions she gives such practical advises to our colleagues that can help them to do well in everyday work. This is extremely important because with a little attention joint aches can be prevented.

Mr. Knott gives these tips to his colleagues at Kreativ Dental:
  • Instead of lift let’s use the stairs.
  • Sit straight in order to oppress both sciatic joints equally.
  • If we stanchion our lower arms and wrists during working we can avoid the aching and inflammation of the upper arm
  • During long standing and sitting it is good for us if we do some circle exercise with our head and neck and stretch ourselves.
  • Heed breathing; sometimes take some deep breath slowly in rhythm and then let it out. During inhaling stretch up with our crown and hold this position while we are exhaling.
  • Fix our chair in that high that our legs can square. The back-rest of the chair should be 20 cm above the seat. Lay our lower arm on the table if it is possible it should be in square.
  • Look down to the monitor mildly.
  • It is important to have at least  10 minutes-break.

When we planned our colleagues working places we paid attention on that all of our employees get ergonomic chairs. What is more, we provide them comfortable shoes so that their foot won’t be tired in them too soon.-said Attila Knott from Kreativ Dental

Free dental treatment

Free dental treatment not just only to the employees of Kreativ Dental but also to the immediate relatives of Kreativ Dental employees as well. - said the owner of Kreativ Dental Attila Knott.  This was a very human and positive decision and not many other clinics are providing this kind of service! What is this exactly? Everybody who works at Kreativ Dental is getting a free dental treatment including their immediate family members such as husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. They only have to pay for the material cost of their dental treatments!

In Hungary the condition of people’s teeth is woeful. The reason of this can be for example a previous bad experience at the dentist or the lack of the state aid, etc. And it can often lead to that the teenagers’ have very bad teeth or they have several missing teeth nowadays.

Attila Knott told he thinks it is very important for several reasons that their employees can get a material cost dental treatment.
  • Our employees feel that they and their family members are carried for.
  • Our clinic provides high standard service and modern technology which is available for our employees as well.
  • With the help of it the condition of the Hungarian peoples’ teeth can be improved.
  • We introduce those kinds of techniques which can be the foundation for the success of further dental treatments. For example, one of our colleagues’ three-year old son’s tooth was broken off. They came to our surgery and our doctor examined him cheerfully and playfully. This is so important because in this way children won’t have any fear of the dentists. Unfortunately this playful examination wouldn’t happen in an average surgery.
  • It is not without importance how the marketing and promotion happen. I think it shouldn’t be mentioned that the ‘perfect smile’ is compulsory in a dental clinic.
  • The adequation of the social differences is very important for us. As a result, it is equally important that our cleaner’s son has as good teeth as our doctor’s son has.
For us all of our employees are equally important. – said Attila Knott. We are determined on providing more for our workers than just the salary.

The satisfied employee is the best commercial. Reviews from employees are just as important to us as reviews from patients.

Attila Knott thinks his clinic needs happy employees

We have come to a very important conclusion, that a frequent body massage is a key element to a human body, pressed his opinion Mr. Attila Knott. Therefore, at Kreativ Dental Clinic every Thursday, we have a professional masseur there who is massaging our employees whichever type of body massage they need. The employees don`t pay for it, the clinic does. I think it is a nice gesture towards our people.

The daily grind is very demanding for the human organism. Our employees often stand and sit for a long time. These all may cause the pressure and pain which are felt in different parts of the body.

According to different studies the brain starts to fill up a few minutes after the beginning of the massage and the tired muscles become fresher after the competent touch. –  said Attila Knott.

It has many advantages because the relaxed colleagues are fresh and are ready for the work. What is more, the massage provides them good mood which  is particularly important because they deal with the patients. I think it is very important that our employees feel we carry about them and they are appreciated. - said Attila.
Mr.  Knott told that most of them choose the office massage because it can be done anywhere and it doesn’t require any special tools or spacious place. In the clinic for this opportunity an office is configured to be a massage room.

During the office massage people are wearing their clothes and it doesn’t require any massage oil. These kinds of treatments take only 15 or 30 minutes which are not longer than a break.

The massage includes the treatment of the head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, back and waist. In the course of the office massage the blood flow and circulation remedial Swedish and refreshing massages are applied.
There is a possibility to have a head massage which can reduce the headache or it can even make an end to it.

During the massage the patients are listening relaxation music and the totally relaxation can be helped by different aromatic incense.
