AGD is working to address the most pressing issues faced by our members as we advocate to government entities for general dentists.

After a series of automobile accidents and resulting surgeries, 2022 Albert L. Borish Award winner Thomas A. Howley Jr., DDS, MAGD, was forced to give up his practice and told to stop all travel and volunteer activities. Instead, he continued to push his own capabilities.

A new article in the latest issue of General Dentistry describes the case of a 29-year-old woman who changed her treatment goals during the course of orthodontic treatment. This report highlights treatment options, outcomes and avoidable mistakes for this type of complex case involving high esthetic demands.

Recently, AGD opened dialogue with a senior representative of Delta Dental Plans Association in order to address issues affecting general dentists, the public and the practice of general dentistry.

The AGD2023 keynote address will be given by NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. His story is “A Journey of Perseverance” that includes child loss and multiple bouts of oral cancer. At AGD2023, he will speak about the power of the four F’s — Faith, Friends, Family and Fans — and what it really means to be “Kelly Tough.”

Next Monday, May 1, is your last chance to secure early bird pricing for AGD2023. Immerse yourself in world-class education set within an iconic Las Vegas property, and come prepared to experience the premier meeting for general dentists!
