In this episode of Voices of Dentistry, Dr. Matt Standridge joins the crew for a wide-ranging conversation on life, dentistry, and the big shifts that come with both. Matt shares his journey from running two thriving practices in small-town Kansas to selling it all and moving his family to Oklahoma City. He dives into the challenges of rural dentistry, the rewards of teaching and speaking, and what it's like to collaborate with Dr. Brett Francis in Stroud, OK.

Today's episode covers family transitions, work culture, mentorship, and why social connection in dentistry matters just as much as education. Prepare for an honest, energetic look at how dentists adapt, grow, and design their practices and lives for the long run.
