Tamara S. Berg, D.D.S., a dentist from Yukon, Oklahoma, was voted ADA second vice president by the House of Delegates Oct. 22 in New Orleans.

Dr. Berg served on the ADA Council on Membership from 2019-22 and was president of the Oklahoma Dental Association in 2010. She ran against Viren L. Jhaveri, D.D.S., of Old Westbury, New York.

“Thank you to all of you in the House of Delegates,” Dr. Berg said during her acceptance speech. “I want to represent you. Thank you for this opportunity.”

In her campaign statement, Dr. Berg said she wants to grow and enhance the ADA’s member value proposition.

“Being in private practice dentistry myself for more than 30 years, I have witnessed first-hand the challenges and opportunities within the field,” Dr. Berg wrote. “I’ve experienced the same staffing and insurance issues you have, and we must collaborate to find innovative and sustainable solutions that improve the patient experience and help us be more successful on every level.”
