Presenter

Irene M. Iancu BSc, RDH, CTDP, achieved her Bachelor of Political Science from Florida State University in 2005 when she realized she would be a TERRIBLE Lawyer!

Upon graduating with honours from Oxford College in 2007, Irene then followed her curiosity into the various aspects of dental hygiene practice, working her way through specialty areas such as paedo and perio and ultimately finding her passion connecting the effects of the dentition on the body and the importance of proper occlusion.
