Bradley J. Anderson, DDS, MAGD, a general dentist from Fargo, North Dakota, was elected treasurer of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) on November 15 during AGD’s Annual Meeting in Chicago. Anderson said he will work to balance the needs of today’s members with the AGD’s long-term financial health.
“This role has given me a strong understanding of our financial operations and the challenges ahead,” said Anderson of his committee work in his candidate statement. “While AGD remains in a strong financial position, it is not without challenges.”
Anderson has served as the AGD Region 10 trustee since 2021. He served on the AGD Budget & Finance Committee in 2025 and 2026, including as vice chair this year.
A Fargo native, Anderson graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2009. He returned to Fargo after graduation and has practiced there ever since.
Anderson began his involvement in organized dentistry as a dental student, representing the American Student Dental Association and the AGD. He served on the North Dakota Dental Association Board of Trustees from 2012 to 2015 and from 2016 to 2021, including as president in 2020. He also served on the AGD Legislative & Governmental Affairs Council from 2013 to 2019.
“As treasurer, I will do my best to strike the delicate balance between meeting current member needs and preserving AGD’s long-term financial strength so it can continue leading organized dentistry for the next generation of dentists,” said Anderson.
Anderson is a member of the American Dental Association, the North Dakota Dental Association, the International College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. A strong advocate for continuing education, he completes more than 50 hours each year and has studied at institutes including CDOCS and Spear Education. He earned his AGD Fellowship in 2016 and his Mastership in 2023.
Outside the office, Anderson enjoys time with family and friends. He and his wife, Jamie, have three children. An aviation enthusiast, Anderson holds a commercial pilot’s license. He played trumpet in college and still plays at church when his schedule allows.
