154 - The Small Talk Doc - Earning Patient Trust Through Pop Culture | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene

Welcome to the 154th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Connie Wang (@drconniewang). 

Do you find yourself awkwardly asking the same few questions to your patients at every visit? Making small talk can be as uncomfortable as, well, going to the dentist - but they don't have to be! Connie loves connecting with people through lighthearted stories and pop culture news. What’s going on with Dunkin’ Donuts? When will Snoop Dogg appear at the Olympics? Tune in to find out how you can make yourself more relatable to your patients, and put them at ease as a trusted dental care provider.

Dr. Connie Wang: 
Dr. Wang received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to becoming a dentist, she received her Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of Rhode Island in southern Rhode Island where she grew up. While at Tufts she was on the Dean’s list all four years, named an Incisal Edge Student to Watch, as well as featured in numerous publications for her side hustle as a dental influencer. Her podcast, Just A Quick Pinch is a lifestyle and self-help podcast for young women in healthcare and is one of the top 10% most followed podcasts in the world. Whether it is mentoring students or treating her patients, Dr. Wang’s mission is to empower every person that she meets to live their best and most authentic life.

Dr. Wang is engaged to her amazing best friend and fiance, Jim. Together they care for Ellie, their adorable rescued fur baby. In her free time, Dr. Wang enjoys what her fiance lovingly calls “nesting” – hunting for home decor finds in thrift stores, HomeGoods, and Amazon. She also loves cooking and her guilty pleasure is the Bravo channel. Feel free to discuss all things Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules with her!
