Salinas, CA - January 30, 2008 - Romie Lane Dental Group has recently welcomed Dr.
Theresa Asbury-Falo to join their dental practice. Dr. Asbury-Falo is
representative of a current trend in dentistry. According to the American Dental
Association, women make up approximately 40% of the students currently enrolled in
dental schools in our country.

In the United States, prior to the early 1970\'s, dentists were almost exclusively
male, while roughly half of dentists in Greece were women, about one-third in
France, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and almost four-fifths in Russia, Finland,
Latvia, and Lithuania. The two main reasons for this gender shift are: the
women\'s liberation and civil rights movements of the 1960\'s and early 1970\'s and the
impact that birth control had on opening the doors for women in professional careers
and choosing when to have children.

According to a recent analysis in the Journal of Medical Associations, women are
able to adapt, respond and have a friendlier disposition than their male
counterparts. They are more at ease, less stressed and handle their patients in a
more easygoing manner. Female dentists often times demonstrate a warmer, more
caring nature with their patients as well. Patients benefit from seeing a female
dentist because they tend to take more time with their patients, giving them more
comprehensive and compassionate care. Women practitioners are often more interested
in building relationships with their patients as well.

We believe that this trend in dentistry will continue and is a very positive
progression for both dentistry as a whole and the patients that seek dental care.
