Go through this journey with Dr. Yum and her Mommy Dentist colleagues to find out how they do it all! They share their experiences on how to successfully balance all areas of life, whether it is caring for their children, their spouses, their patients, and most importantly themselves! Since first entering the dental field more than 20 years ago, Dr. Grace Yum has quietly become one of the leading pediatric dentists in Chicago and beyond. She has also become recognized as a thought-leader among dentists nationally. Dr. Yum found her passion for dentistry when she was 18 years old. She first worked as a dental assistant, completed dental school, went on to advanced training in pediatrics at Chicago’s leading children’s hospital, then climbed the ladder to eventually start her own practice, Yummy Dental & Orthodontics for Kids, which now has two offices. Dr. Yum earned her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where she studied communications. She earned her D.D.S. from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the world’s first dental college. As a certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Yum has earned a certification held by less than 5% of all dentists in the United States. Dr. Yum has an active presence on social media where she brings together patients, their parents, other dentists, and working moms. Most recently, she founded Mommy Dentists in Business, a private Facebook group of thousands of dentists in the United States and around the world. These professionals are dedicated to sharing best practices to achieve excellence in dentistry while balancing life and work. A recent recipient of the Top Doctors of America award, Dr. Yum is also a podcaster and host of her own show, Mommy Dentists in Business, which can be found on iTunes. Now, Dr. Grace Yum lives in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood with her husband and their two children.
