After dental school, Dr. Pratt and his family decided they needed a little adventure in their lives, so they took a job in Wasilla, Alaska. When he wasn’t fishing or playing in the Alaskan outdoors, Dr. Pratt worked in a very modern general dentistry practice, where he expanded his dental training.
