“More patients are able to see someone like me because more oncologists are now aware of the value of having a dentist on their cancer care team.”

Emily E. Bujnoski, DMD, MPH
“Now, more than ever, dentists are not just men. Dentists are women, people of color and people with nontraditional backgrounds.”

Chione Daniel, DMD
“Being connected to specialists who are willing to guide you on difficult cases, classmates you can call to talk about hard days and mentors who can offer advice all make a world of difference.”

Jeena E. Devasia, DDS, FAGD
“I’d love to impact the life of a young dentist in the same way that my mentor impacted me.”

Gregory M. Feldman, DMD. MAGD
“To take the leap of faith and trust myself enough to start my own solo practice has, without a doubt, been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.”

Mark A. Gaches, DDS, FAGD
“I focus on quality dentistry, not quantity dentistry. This allows me to have much more time and focus for full-patient care.”

Selina Fuentes Gutierrez, DDS
“I plan to coordinate a yearly free dental service weekend at my office for the underserved communities of Greater San Antonio.”

Margaret J. Jones, DDS
“I hope to improve my community’s oral health literacy and be an agent of change who improves oral health among future generations.”

Tanya Sue Maestas, DDS
“Dentistry is very rewarding and can simultaneously be very emotionally, physically and mentally challenging. I’m blessed to have a professional community to help navigate these challenges.”

Sarita B. Patel, DDS, FAGD
“[The pandemic] has been difficult on dentists and, more importantly, dental students with their decreased clinical exposure. They need our help more than ever.”
