In this week's Dental Handoff, Dr. Kelly is joined by Dr. Chad Duplantis of Dentists in the Know! Dr. Duplantis received his D.D.S. from UTHSC San Antonio in 1999 and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at Baylor College of Dentistry in 2000. He maintains a small group private practice in Fort Worth, TX, focusing on aesthetic and restorative dentistry. Dr. Duplantis is an author, a lecturer, and a key opinion leader in dentistry. His interests are mainly in digital, implant, and restorative dentistry. In 2020, Dr. Duplantis co-founded the Facebook Group Dentists IN the Know, which is designed to keep the dental industry well-informed.

In this episode, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Duplantis discuss:

- Dr. Chad's “why” of Dentistry stemming from an early interest in the medical field but a lack of desire to spend 10 years in schools and residencies. 

- Why he enjoys the “bankers hours” of a 4 day work week,  and why in actuality it ends up more like a 7 day work week

- Dr. Duplantis' insights from the “Rubber Chicken  Circuit” of his speaking tour

- Why Dr. Chad loves treating all ages of patients

- How his patients can notice if he’s having a bad day and how he has to “hero” his way through them

- Why he has a wife at home and 9 more at work

- Why the way you treat your patients leaves a more lasting impression than the technical details of the dental work

- What qualities he looks for in potential new employees 

- Why the ability to say “No’ is important when looking at speaking opportunities

- How his team handle emergencies amidst his hectic schedule

- Why every new technology implemented in a practice has to be done methodically

- The top 5 topics he talks about on his speaking tour

- And so much more!
