Becoming @Toothlife.Irene has been a journey.

In this exceptional episode of the Tooth or Dare podcast, Katrina takes the reins and places Irene under the microscope to take a peek behind the scenes into the life of her friend and podcast co-host. Irene Iancu graduated with a diploma in dental hygiene from Oxford college in 2007. Since then, Irene has expanded her scope of practice with procedures that include Orthodontics, Restorative Dental Hygiene (graduation 2021), Myofunctional Therapy, and advanced periodontal therapy utilizing the latest technology. 

As an educator, speaker, consultant, entrepreneur, practice owner, practicing hygienist, and more, Irene certainly has her hands full within the dental industry.

She shares with us how she became a speaker, her experience in working with Invisalign, and certain struggles and challenges that she has faced along her journey to creating Toothlife Studio.

There’s so much to talk about, and with such little time, there is no way that everything could be covered in just one episode, so keep your eyes open for Part 2 of Irene & Trene!
