#62 - Ten Years Younger - In Conversation with Uchenna Okoye

This week’s guest is one of dentistry’s few true household names. Uchenna Okoye has found success as a cosmetic dentist and clinical director of London Smiling dental group.

But she is perhaps best known as the dental consultant on Channel Four’s Ten Years Younger program.

Uchenna tells us how it all started and we get round to discussing race and gender in dentistry, non-nonsense management and much more.

Enjoy! 

“I don't understand the jealousy and all that nonsense. There's enough teeth for everybody.”
