The Early 90s.

In the winter of 1990 a group of one dozen female dental colleagues needed a way to stick together as female dentists and face the challenges that they all experienced. They created this group with the goal of sharing the challenges in their day to day lives as mothers and women. Just a few of the founders included Judy Lane, Nancy Archibald, Bev Kodama, Julie Wong, and Marjorie Maxwell.

Bringing Smiles to Dentists.

Group members found that with each quarterly meeting, there was better balance in their lives between work and home. They loved every moment that they joined together and wished to share that with other women dentists.

1994

By 1994 the group had died out and we no longer were religious about gathering, but then in 1995 many more female dentists had moved to the area and the interest for the group was sparked up again. Dr. Nicky Hakimi led the group during this time. Over the next year, more than 75 female dentists were actively involved in the group. The group continued to meet quarterly with the main purpose of clinical sharing.

1998

The group started fading out again in 1998, but has recently been rebuilt. Dr. Herlin Dyal led the group from 2004-2011, and Dr. Kelly Giannetti also assisted in leading over the group! Finally in 2015 they regrouped! The Dental Dudettes have potential to expanding to over 400 female dentists currently practicing in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, and Amador counties.

Looking Back Today.

Today, there are hundreds of members working together to redefine the approach to life. Now with a board of professional women working together we plan meetings and gatherings for clinical sharing and support of our female colleagues.
