Should You Be Funny as a Dentist? Here’s Why It Might Matter More Than You Think
Is it okay to joke around with your patients? Should you be the funny dentist, or does that risk your professionalism? In this episode, Chase and Ryan dig deep into the role of humor in dentistry—and whether it can actually make you a better dentist.
Let’s face it: going to the dentist isn’t exactly at the top of most people’s “favorite things to do” list. So, what happens when you throw in a little humor? Chase and Ryan share stories about how they’ve used jokes (good ones and questionable ones) to break the ice, calm nerves, and build better relationships with patients.
They dive into the psychology behind humor and why it’s such a powerful tool—not just for connecting with patients, but for creating a practice culture that people actually want to be part of. Along the way, they share their favorite go-to jokes (you might want to steal a few) and the moments when humor helped diffuse tricky situations.
But they don’t stop there. They also explore the line between being approachable and staying professional, how humor can vary depending on the patient, and why dentists sometimes get a bad rap as being “all business.” Spoiler: They think dentists might be funnier than they’re given credit for.
Whether you’re a dentist looking to lighten the mood or just wondering if a little laughter can actually make a difference, this episode will have you rethinking how you interact with patients—and maybe even your team.
