Outstanding Service Award
for 2011
DR. LAURA M. ENG
Dr. Laura Eng grew up in Peoria, Illinois, went to the University of Iowa for dental
hygiene and then the University of Minnesota School of Dentisry. There she met her
husband, Bob, now an orthodontist in Saint Paul. Just days before graduation,
she was very fortunate to meet Dr. Patrick Mascia, with whom she practiced for
25 years until his retirement.
Dr. Laura M. Eng
She started her involvement with the Saint Paul District as Chair of “Children’s
Dental Health Day at the Zoo” many years ago. Since then she has been enthusiastic
about what organized dentistry can do to enhance our practices and balance our lives.
She has worked to make membership valuable to all dentists at the SPDDS, MDA
and ADA levels. Laura has been the Chair of the SPDDS and MDA Membership
Committees and served on the ADA Council on Membership, along with other
membership-related activities. She was on SPDDS Executive Council and served
as President in 2005. During that time, she developed the “SPDDS 5:05 Clubs”,
where members can meet informally with other dentists who work near them.
Laura enjoys volunteering at her church, time at the cabin, biking, and traveling with
Bob to see their grown children, son David and daughter-in-law, Kristina who live in
Ann Arbor, and daughter Carolyn who is a biology graduate student at Harvard.
