Charting Your Own Path and Staying Authentic

Pediatric Dentist and Entrepreneur Dr. Tyler Hanks joins host Dr. Joel Berg for a discussion on designing your own brand rooted in authenticity. Dr. Hanks talks about how he has found success leaning into his passions and personality in ways that put patients and parents at ease as soon as they enter his practice. He also delves into the social media side of his practice and the trial and error of finding unique and engaging ways to meet families where they are when they’re looking for expert advice.  Guest Bio:  Dr. Tyler Hanks, DMD, MPH is a board-certified pediatric dentist and the founder of Happy Tooth Pediatric Dentistry in Millcreek, Utah. Born and raised in Sandy, Utah, Dr. Hanks has deep roots in the community and a genuine passion for helping children develop lifelong healthy smiles.  Dr. Hanks began his dental journey after graduating from Brighton High School and serving a mission in Nicaragua for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, and completed specialized pediatric dental residency training at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.  With over a decade of experience observing pediatric practices, Dr. Hanks believes that a child’s first dental experiences have a lasting impact on their attitudes toward oral health. This philosophy inspired him to create Happy Tooth—an intentionally welcoming, fun, and kid-friendly environment designed to make dental visits enjoyable and comfortable for families.  Dr. Hanks lives with his family in Utah and enjoys spending time with his four sons. Outside the office, he loves cheering on sports teams, playing board games, cruising around Millcreek on his OneWheel, and daydreaming about Lake Powell. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
