This Week at AGD

As federal policymakers and legislators work to draft bills and regulations related to COVID-19, it is a challenge and an opportunity to ensure they have a full understanding of the impact these policies have on general dentists, dental students and oral health delivery. Over the past month and a half, AGD has submitted comments and advocated for general dentists on a range of issues.

Now may also be the best time to take advantage of its handpiece repair special. As an AGD member, you receive free second-day shipping from DHPI's distribution centers on stocked products.

Are you taking part in micro-learning events such as 15- or 20-minute education updates? Courses of any length can be applied toward the Fellowship or Mastership award requirements as long as the events are offered through AGD PACE- or ADA CERP-approved providers. Check who meets these standards.

During this unprecedented time, U.S. Air Force dentists, hygienists, dental technicians and lab technicians continue to answer our nation’s call.
