Dentistry, Motherhood, and the Unrealistic Standards Placed on Female Dentists with Joyce Kahng

In this inspiring episode, we are joined by Joyce Kahng (@joycethedentist), a remarkable individual who wears multiple hats as a mom, a wife, and the owner of a dental practice in Orange County, California. During our conversation, we touch on her journey as a dentist and as a mom, and the difficulties she has faced in a pregnancy that led to a stillbirth.  Following the conversation about her life, we talk about the unique challenges and rewards that come with being a “mommy dentist.” We also address the unrealistic standards that are often placed upon women in the field of dentistry. Of course, we couldn’t do this episode without talking about teeth!  On this episode we also dive into various dental care topics, including the best routine for dental care, the debate of which toothpaste is best, whether to use a mouthwash, and the importance of choosing the right floss. Join us for this insightful conversation with Joyce Kahng, where we explore her inspiring journey, the complexities of being a mom and dentist, and the advice that all dentists should be giving about finding the best dental routine.
