Raising Good Kids as Pediatric Dentists, with Drs. Chad and Beth Pfohl

I love interviewing a good power couple where we can have a drink and talk about teeth! Today we are joined by Dr. Beth Pfohl, a pediatric dentist, and her husband Dr. Chad Pfohl, an oral surgeon. The Pfohls are University of Iowa grads and at AAPD 2022 in San Diego, we had a few drinks at the welcome reception and I decided I needed to have them on the podcast.  Dr. Beth is unique in that she went back to dental school later in life with two kids at home, and continued for the additional two years to complete her pediatric residency. Dr. Chad is a partner at a large group practice and he shares some of his wisdom on how to find good team members and associates to bring into the practice. They come on the podcast to talk about life in the working world, as well as how to find work-life balance between running a full patient load at the office and raising good kids at home.  As pediatric dentists, we naturally love working with kids and tend to a be a very family-oriented profession. My wife announced that we will be having our first little baby girl in May, so I thought it would make for great conversation to discuss in the upcoming podcasts how having kids influenced or changed the way that pediatric dentists practice dentistry.
