New Dentist Hangout

Thursday — The MDA New Dentist Committee invites all new dentist attendees to drop by and hang out together for a bit starting at 7:30pm (right after the Salt & Lime Reception).

The event is exclusive to dentists (and a guest) who graduated 10 years ago or fewer. The event is free, but registration is requested to help us plan.
