Starting your career in dentistry is exciting — but it also comes with major financial and legal decisions that can shape your long-term success. Whether you’re completing residency, entering private practice, or considering ownership, this session will help you navigate those key steps with confidence. Join Brent Pohlman, a Partner at Mandelbaum Barrett PC, and Jason McKenzie, Vice President of the Dental Division at Bank of America, for a practical discussion on what every new dentist should know before signing their first contract, buying a practice, or securing financing. Through real-life examples and interactive Q&A, you’ll gain insight into how to avoid common pitfalls, prepare financially and legally for your next step, and position yourself for lasting success.

Gather your friends, family, dental team members, and colleagues for an exciting night of family fun! Join us as the Somerset Patriots — the NY Yankees’ Double-A affiliate — take on the Mets’ affiliate in a fun-filled evening celebrating community, baseball, and oral health.

Support a Great Cause

This event doubles as a fundraiser for the New Jersey Dental Foundation (NJDF). A portion of every ticket sold goes directly to supporting NJDF’s programs that expand access to dental care and promote oral health throughout our communities.

And what better timing? June is Oral Health Month—making this a meaningful way to celebrate and give back.
