About the Presenter:
Dr. Thibaut Merit grew up in France and studied dentistry at the University of Nantes, from which he graduated in 2013. All the while working as a general dentist in France, he completed post-graduate programs in implant dentistry and bone biology. Dr. Thibaut moved to Dublin, Ireland in 2017, where he discovered microscopic dentistry and eventually limited his practice to Endodontics. Starting off as a self-taught endodontist, Dr. Thibaut quickly developed a passion for conservative and restoratively-driven endodontics and only recently he completed the International Endodontic Program delivered by the University of the Pacific. Aside from work, Dr. Thibaut has a passion for music and for whisky, and enjoys spending as much time as possible with his 2 children.
