AGD General Dentists

Academy of General Dentistry

Wherever you are in your career — practice owner, associate dentist, dental student or resident — AGD provides educational programming, opportunities for you to advocate for our profession, and a community for general dentists who want to connect with a strong and dedicated network of industry leaders.

AGD was established to fill a void for continuing dental education by a general dentist with a passion for constant improvement. Almost 70 years later, 38,000 members share the same passion. Beyond advancing their skills through exceptional continuing education, they rely on AGD to stay abreast of practice management best practices, to provide valuable advocacy resources and to engage in peer-to-peer networking.

Our on-demand and in-person educational programs, special member savings, practice management tools, advocacy support resources, award-winning publications and the industry's only achievement-based awards for general dentists will help you distinguish yourself as the educated voice in oral health and dentistry.
