AAWD Annual Conference
Innovate, Inspire, Impact: Women Dentists in the Digital Era
September 5 & 6, 2025 | Baltimore, MD
advancing, connecting, and enriching the lives of women dentists
from pre-dental school through retirement
Why AAWD?
Because women dentists need to support each other! Although the gender composition of U.S. dentists has changed dramatically in the last twenty years, there’s not much else that has. Dental equipment is still designed for male bodies, journal ads are still aimed to a male audience, and men still dominate leadership and speaking opportunities. For over 100 years, The American Association of Women Dentists, the only dues-based national organization representing the interests of women dentists across the country, has connected women dentists from dental school through retirement.
