153: Interview with pediatric dentist & founder of Thinking Outside the Drill, Dr. Mikaeya Kalantari

Headshot of Dr. Mikaeya Kalantari


Mikaeya Kalantari has been a practicing pediatric dentist since 2012. Always one to have side hobbies, Mikaeya started a personal blog in 2015 and began to dive into the world of SEO and social media. When her family moved across the country and opened a dental practice in competitive Southern California, she began to use her SEO and social media knowledge to grow the office brand and spread the word about the family’s new dental practice.

Dr. Kalantari now teaches other dentists how to do their own branding, SEO and social media marketing in her online courses which can be found on ThinkingOutsideTheDrill.com. Along with teaching other dentists, Dr. Kalantari also runs the Facebook and Instagram page Thinking Outside The Drill and is a contributing writer for both Dr. Bicuspid and the Orange County Mom’s Blog
