48. Hygienist Owned Dental Practice

This week's episode will you bring you insight to what it's like owning a dental practice as a DENTAL HYGIENIST. You read that right. Irene Iancu (@toothlife.Irene) is a Canadian hygienist who owns her own dental practice! Irene is someone I have looked up to throughout my journey to becoming a RDH. She is not only an incredible healthcare provider, she is an international speaker, podcast host, business owner, content creator, and clinical educator.  Irene and I had the opportunity to meet in person at RDH Under One Roof and I was immediately drawn to her magnetic energy. It was easy to see why Irene's presence is so influential. In this episode, we discuss the struggles of being a preventative care specialist in an industry that is treatment focused. We walk through the ups and downs of owning a dental practice as a hygienist. After listening to this episode you'll understand why it's important for more hygienists to pursue owning their own practice.  You can connect with Irene using the information below!
