Dental shows are a cornerstone of professional development ,offering education, innovation, networking, and inspiration. But for many dentists, particularly those with young families or caregiving responsibilities, attending these events is simply not feasible.

We believe it's time to change that.

This petition calls on dental show organizers, sponsors, and industry leaders to recognize the evolving needs of today’s dental professionals by providing family-friendly facilities at major dental conferences.

This could include on-site crèche services,

quiet spaces for nursing,

and meaningful activities for non-dental spouses and children.

By making these events more inclusive, we can:

Support work-life balance for dentists and dental team members

Enable more women and parents in dentistry to attend

Increase overall attendance and engagement at shows

Create a more welcoming, community-centered profession

If you’re a dental professional who has skipped events or had to make difficult choices between career and family, this petition is for you.
