Corina was born in Salem, Oregon but grew up in the Wasilla/Palmer area of Alaska. Corina grew up in a low-income household.

She is currently working towards completing her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in the spring of 2023.
Corina’s TikTok has become known for her fun and educational content about dentistry, while her Instagram showcases her personal life and connections with other dental professionals. When asked about the secret to her TikTok success, Corina said, “I started noticing my TikTok growing when I posted more educational content and noticed that there is a huge lack of dental knowledge in the general community. Creating a community that I can educate, but also share my life, has been great!”
In addition to her social media presence, Corina believes in the importance of networking and continuing education courses in the ever-evolving field of dentistry. She said, “I have always said that I am a dental hygienist, and content creator second. I never go into a job interview and talk about my social media. Any good employer will Google their employee, and they usually bring up my social media, but I would never use my followers for my benefit. My presence on social media has allowed me to grow in the professional space in the dental community, and work with great companies to provide even more education to other dental professionals, as well as the general population.”
With her passion for dentistry and her dedication to educating others, Corina Monroe continues to be a leading voice in the dental community. Keep an eye out for her future projects and educational content on her social media platforms.
