Iancu, BSc, RDH, CTDP 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 a clinician, her career path has been unconventional with experience working in pediatric dentistry for 4 years, Periodontics, Orthodontics, Cosmetic focused dental practice, and holistic dentistry. Aside from clinical dentistry, Irene takes the stage at some of the largest dental events in the world sharing her experiences delivering motivational lectures and presentations on clinical procedures and treatment outcomes. Irene always dreamed of owning her own practice and with that dream, Toothlife Studio was born.

Her favorite things to do when not working on teeth: Irene hosts a popular dental podcast (Tooth or Dare), writes for a variety of publications and has an awesome community on social media on her @Toothlife.Irene and @Toothlife page of fellow like-minded dental professionals eager to learn, share and save the world one tooth at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1631925356589-NH82JRF145JLMBCUJ07J/26B727498C5F48C28401168698A00D54.png 2020 WDHA Session - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wydha.org/advertisement-purchase daily 0.75 2019-03-14 https://www.wydha.org/advertisement-purchase/employment-advertising monthly 0.5 2021-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1552596128094-LSQ2K00T114RTOB8L6QZ/Screen+Shot+2019-03-09+at+5.36.27+PM.png Advertisement Purchase - Employment Advertising https://www.wydha.org/advertisement-purchase/seeking-employment-advertisement monthly 0.5 2020-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1552596178990-QYY0O05AB9FGVPX29ZWU/Screen+Shot+2019-03-09+at+5.37.02+PM.png Advertisement Purchase - Seeking Employment Advertisement https://www.wydha.org/donate daily 0.75 2019-07-28 https://www.wydha.org/donate/donate monthly 0.5 2019-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1564335231175-3DFM1TORX7D575FWB3P5/Copy+of+Instagram+Post+-+Untitled+Design.PNG Donate - Donate to WyDHA https://www.wydha.org/wydha-annual-session-tickets daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://www.wydha.org/wydha-annual-session-tickets/wydha-annual-session-students monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1630512216365-YHPEHQYQ2CTKCDM9B19Y/student-braces-isolated-cartoon-vector-illustration-150550665.jpg WyDHA Tickets For CEUS - WyDHA Annual Session-Students https://www.wydha.org/wydha-annual-session-tickets/wydha-annual-session-non-members-1 monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1611628630355-9V4KOQ4Z1JK0Y353338S/Teeth.jpg WyDHA Tickets For CEUS - WyDHA Annual Session- Non members https://www.wydha.org/wydha-annual-session-tickets/wydha-annual-session-2024-members monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1596767407799-00S3PHK69JA89Y2YTUC9/Teeth.jpg WyDHA Tickets For CEUS - WyDHA Annual Session-Members https://www.wydha.org/vendor-registration daily 0.75 2019-08-11 https://www.wydha.org/vendor-registration/vendor-registration monthly 0.5 2019-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c79c2ea0cf57d04793a0cbc/1565506050216-3GCCQKS6L9H2FOF6OIMO/Copy+of+Instagram+Post+-+Untitled+Design.PNG Vendor Registration - Vendor Registration
