    Contribution to dentistry

    “As a woman in the dental sector, I have guided my path with honesty, effort, and conviction. I recognize that, for us women, opportunities have sometimes been more limited, and precisely for that reason, I work every day to prove how valuable, capable, and transformative women are.

    My driving force is the desire to build a better future for my daughter - one with more and better opportunities. In my professional work, I seek much more than just selling products: I focus on offering real solutions that positively impact the lives of dentists and, of course, their patients.”

    For Luz Mary Torres, changing dentistry is a process of constant personal transformation. She believes that by contributing her passion and commitment to the field, she is also strengthening herself as a professional, a woman, and a mother.
