2025-2026 Series
As a new dentist, it can be intimidating walking into a local component meeting for the first time with people you've never met before. Wouldn't it be more comforting if you had a fellow new dentist with you to lean on during the meeting?
This is the idea behind our New Dentist Meet Up series! These casual get-togethers will give new dentists the chance to meet each other before heading into the local component’s meeting/CE course. NJDA will cover the tab for drinks & appetizers.
Join us for food, drinks, and fun! Meet new friends and catch us at one of our spring stops! (Members can belong to a local component convenient to them. Choose the Meet Up location that works best for you!)
