The AGD Difference — It’s in the Name
Have you ever noticed the letters after your dentist’s name? Most of the time you’ll only see DDS or DMD. Those distinguish them as either a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry. However, there are two other important titles you should look for when selecting a dentist — FAGD and MAGD.
Learn more about the requirements.

FAGD and MAGD stand for Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, respectively, and each distinction has a specific set of requirements dentists must meet to achieve them.
Find out if your dentist is a member of AGD or has received their FAGD or MAGD.
