Bethany Petty

Bethany began in the dental industry as a mere tot – helping her dad run his family-owned general dentistry practice, performing almost all the duties, from marketing and business strategy, down to waxing the floors. After receiving a Masters in Health Communication and a Masters in Adult Education, Bethany felt equipped and ready to launch her consulting business in 2010. After now 25 years working in the dental field, 12 of those years in consulting, Bethany has a wide range of experiences with all dental specialties. Her passion is to restore joy and peace to practice owners and to collaborate with dental team members to ensure that everyone can practice happy. In an effort to expand her reach and support more dentists in the wake of the COVID crisis, Bethany teamed up with a colleague and friend, Dr. Reena Kuba, and launched Managing Dental Drama podcast. Each week, Bethany and Dr. Kuba discuss relevant topics related to practice management and draw from real issues.
