Dr. Parag Kachalia is one of the most influential people in dentistry. And as one of the Seattle Study Club’s Top 10 Young Educators, he’s using his influence to help other dentists achieve their best in their business. His only regret in his career is not joining the Study Club sooner. As dentists, we are responsible for the wellness of our patients, but it’s also our job to run a successful business. And Dr. Kachalia knows that dentistry is about more than just the 32 teeth in the mouth. He’s the rare kind of dentist who loves the business side of things. He minored in economics and explains how that education helps him more in his daily practice (and as a mentor) than any physiology course he took in college. Economics and dentistry weren’t always the plan — Dr. Kachalia wanted to be an oncologist, but he’s always been an economist at heart. His family ran their own business, and while he was inspired to take economics courses, not many other dental students are. In addition, many teachers aren’t prepared to teach the type of economics we need to run a successful business in the 2020s. Dr. Kachalia discusses this disconnect between the university and the practice and how it inspired him to get involved with the Seattle Study Club. One of the biggest things he’s doing with the Study Club is discussing new types of dental technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how to pick out what kind of tech you need in your practice. There are three criteria Dr. Kachalia uses before he invests in new equipment or technology, and he shares how we can apply his process to all business investments we make. It’s important to look at how these new kinds of dental technology will work for your practice and how these tools will benefit you not only as a dentist but also as a business owner. In This Episode You Will Learn  What inspired Dr. Kachalia to pursue dentistry over being an oncologist 3:26 The two-fold approach Dr. Kachalia wants dental schools to take 8:38 Dr. Kachalia’s new role in the Seattle Study Club 10:55 How new dentists can join the Seattle Study Club 19:53 The most powerful, yet simple, tool Dr. Kachalia brought to his practice 32:20  Some Questions We Discuss  What’s going on in San Francisco? 1:28 How does an economics background help Dr. Kachalia run his dental business? 6:23 How did Dr. Kachalia learn to look at cases differently with the Seattle Study Club? 18:15 What three criteria does Dr. Kachalia use to pick out dental tech for his practice? 24:02 How far can AI technology go in dentistry? 35:10 What slang does Dr. Kachalia use in the office? 40:18  Resources:  Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Connect with Dr. Kachalia on Facebook:  Parag R.

An Economical Look At Dental Technology with Dr. Parag Kachalia

Welcome back to the Dental Slang Podcast! We’ve got a wonderful guest today. Dr. Parag Kachalia is talking with us from California, from the heart of Silicon Valley, and he’s sharing some serious knowledge bombs when it comes to the future of dental technology. Dr. Parag is one of the Seattle Study Club’s Top 10 Young Educators, so you’re guaranteed to learn a little something on today’s episode.  First and foremost you will learn what Dr. Parag is a traveling man. He and his family take a trip abroad every year, but he’s also traveling a lot for work. He hops on a plane every Thursday, he says, whether it’s for lectures on digital technology or guest speeches on restorative dentistry for fellow dentists. He’s managed to find that balance between traveling for work and for pleasure and he’s sharing that secret with us today.  Other secrets will be revealed in today’s episode, including where and how you can find a different kind of dental mentor. We’ve talking about mentors before on our podcast, after all - mentors are the secret ingredient to your success. But sometimes mentors can be more than just individuals and mastermind groups. Sometimes it’s the place where you live that inspires you, kind of like how Silicon Valley inspired Dr. Parag. Dr. Parag shares his view of where the next stage of dental technology is taking us. So far he sees all of these new tools and this new tech gathering all of this data, but what are we doing with it? The future of dental technology lies in how we apply all of this new data to our dental practices. Developing AI to help us understand the data is one of many views of the future Dr. Parag shares with us today, and we discuss all the ways dentists can work together to bridge our research, our data, and our experiences to improve this profession for everyone. Today, the three of us create a whole new type of dentistry. You can call it daydreaming, but we think it’s more like brainstorming. Thinking about where the future of dental technology can take us is very inspiring, and even Dr. Parag sees these changes influencing the way dental students are learning and the way modern dentists are practicing. He breaks down these different generations and how we can not only teach them but how we can market to them as well. If you’re looking for new ways to reach your dental patients (or even your dental students), then hit play right now. The nuggets of knowledge Dr. Parag shares today cannot be missed. Because he’s doing so much more than just solving our most common dental problems. He’s aiming to create brand new ways that make our practice easier and more comfortable for our patients, our staff, and everyone working to build their own dental practices.  In This Episode You Will Learn  What inspired Parag and his family to move out to the West Coast 3:32 The driving force that influenced Parag’s tech-savvy dental career 6:20 What it would be like to work remotely as a dentist 13:50 Parag’s experience joining and being involved with the Seattle Study Club 18:30 How to market to different generations of dental patients 25:40 The different slang Parag uses to communicate to patients vs. employees 31:49  Some Questions We Discuss  How does Parag balance travel with his dental practice? 5:29 What’s coming up hot in dental technology today? 7:57 Why do patients dislike the dental experience? 16:50 How are these different generations of dental students learning differently? 22:10 What kind of slang does Dr. Parag use to describe certain end of the year dental treatments? 34:34  Resources:  Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Connect with Dr. Parag online: San Ramon Dentist Connect with Dr. Parag on Facebook:  Parag R.
