About this episode

On today's episode of the Dentalpreneur Podcast, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Kent Tuttle to discuss his background in sports and how he got started in dentistry.
Dr. Tuttle is a graduate of Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine and has a background in sports, playing both basketball and football in college. He shares how his love for sports and competition translated into his passion for dentistry, where he can compete against himself to provide the best possible care for his patients.
Dr. Tuttle also talks about his journey to becoming a dentist, starting with his undergraduate studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he received his Bachelor of Science in Biology. He then shares his experience in dental school and how he found his niche in cosmetic dentistry.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Tuttle highlights the importance of continuing education in dentistry, as well as the importance of having a strong support system, both personally and professionally. He also shares his insights on building a successful dental practice and the importance of staying true to your values and mission as a healthcare provider.
Join us tomorrow for Part 2 of this exciting episode, where Dr. Tuttle will be discussing his nonprofit mobile dentistry, the Tuttle Shuttle, and how it is making a positive impact in the lives of underserved communities.
