Ep 1. Your Seat At The Table

  • Summary

  • In this debut episode of Dental Culture ConVOS, we embark on a new journey, creating a space for authentic, unscripted conversations about the dental industry and beyond. Join us as we dive into the origins of Dental Culture Con—how it all started with a few candid conversations, shared frustrations, and the desire to change the culture of dentistry to be more inclusive and representative.

    From brainstorming ideas to navigating the industry's marginalization and microaggressions, we discuss why it felt necessary to create a new space. It's not just about dentistry—it's about creating a platform where diversity, equity, and inclusion aren't just buzzwords but active, intentional efforts. We share our personal stories and struggles, and we challenge the traditional boundaries of what diversity means in dentistry and beyond.

    This is only the beginning. Tune in as we lay the foundation for what’s to come: raw conversations, powerful stories, and an unfiltered look at the reality of building a community that celebrates all voices.
