GHP Oral Health & Dentistry Awards 2023 n 2017, Mommy Dentists in Business was established by Dr Grace Yum. While on a business trip with her husband, she noticed that lawyers tend to connect and network with each other in a way that dentists do not. She felt that the industry could benefit from such a strong sense of community and camaraderie. For this reason, Dr Yum set out to create a Facebook page through which dentists from all over the world could engage, particularly those who were also mothers and businessowners like herself. Since then, Mommy Dentists in Business has evolved significantly. Alongside its active Facebook community, the organisation now serves as a membership platform through which people can access educational resources, aiming to bring value to the lives of dentists across the world in collaboration with industry experts as well as other dental and nondental vendors. Today, Mommy Dentists in Business consists of 30 regional groups across the USA. In addition to over 10,000 Facebook group members, the organisation also has 1,600 subscribed members.

They can also leverage the organisation’s membership directory and hygienist portal.
