Throughout history, dentistry has been somewhat of a male-dominated field, especially in leadership and education roles. This is no longer the case. With more women in the dental profession than before, there is a large importance in recognizing and supporting women in dentistry.

Female dentist Dr. Effie Habsha recognized the need to connect women in the dental profession with mentorship and networking opportunities. As a result, she has created a symposium for Women in Dentistry to attend. The event took place on November 13, 2019 at the Midtown Event Theatre in Toronto.

As more female dental students prepare to enter their careers, this event provides them with an opportunity to be connected with other female dentists to receive mentorship and career advice. The overall goal of the event is to learn effective patient engagement methods to maximize patient satisfaction, introduce new ways to utilize the entire dental team to ensure company growth and success and learn the hygienist’s role in assessing, preventing and managing caries.
