Get Involved at the Local Level

State dental boards establish licensing requirements for dental team members, determine scopes of practice for dental health care providers, and protect the public regarding oral health care issues. As the only organization exclusively dedicated to serving the needs and interests of general dentists, the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) encourages its members to get AGD members appointed to the local state dental board and to attend state dental board meetings. Please use the listing below to contact your state dental board or to access information about upcoming dental board meetings. If you need additional information, please contact the AGD Advocacy department at advocacy@agd.org.
