My name is Anna Babczyńska-Staszewska, I am a dentist and I specialize in the treatment of tooth discoloration using the Icon resin infiltration method and whitening.
I have been using Icon for almost 10 years and have treated over 1,000 teeth with it. I defended my PhD on this very topic. I am also the only expert in Poland (Key Opinion Leader) signed by DMG in the field of Icon resin infiltration.
I conduct stationary training (for doctors and hygienists), webinars and individual training for offices. You can find me on Instagram @anna.the.dentist.
