This month, AGD Impact introduces 10 young professionals who — in less than a decade of practice — have already secured their places among dentistry’s leaders. This issue also covers the benefits of incorporating sedation into a dental practice and contains one Self-Instruction exercise worth 1 CE credit.

AGD recently collaborated with OSAP to host “OSAP: Current Issues in COVID-19.” The 90-minute webinar includes updates on OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19; CDC interim guidelines; a review regarding aerosol-generating procedures; implementing a respiratory protection program; and vaccination guidelines and recommendations.

The first publication of General Dentistry’s 70th anniversary year is now available! Highlights include fascinating case reports on topics like separated endodontic instruments and an epidermoid cyst in a pediatric patient, a detailed comparison of in-office 3D printers, Self-Instruction opportunities, and much more.

AGD fact sheets provide your patients with all the information they need to maintain their oral health. Fact sheets on more than 25 oral health topics are available online for downloading and can be customized to include your name and practice information.

As commonplace as social media has become, the relational boundaries that separate healthcare professionals and patients on such sites have become blurred. As enjoyable and harmless as social media may seem, dentists, as well as all healthcare professionals, must manage their online presence with decorum and professionalism.
