Last episode 15 June 2026. Still going.

Hosted by Irene Iancu and Katrina

Hold on to your suction, it’s about to get viscous. <br />Irene, aka @Toothlife.Irene, on social media is the first (and only) Canadian Restorative Dental Hygienist with a podcast. Sharing her story surrounding her career, practice ownership, social media and, of course, dental-related content. On Tooth or Dare, she gives mic-dropping solutions to your dental questions and problems as a dental professional. <br /><br />With guests like top hygienists, dentists, researchers, product developers and more, this show has something for everyone interested in oral health and personal and professional development.<br /><br />Peeps say the content is entertaining and educational, packaged with actionable items. a<br />Molar of the story, this is the podcast for you if you want to feel like you’re part of a conversation from the comfort of your own... well, wherever the heck you’re listening. <br />Peace out, peeps, catch you on the flip side.

Not yet scored

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

How scoring works

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
