AGD is working to address the most pressing issues faced by our members as we advocate to government entities for general dentists.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closures of dental offices for months, some completely while others were only open for emergency procedures. While reopening meant a return to work, human resources leaders in the dental industry have been inundated with a slew of questions. What role is HR playing in handling the pandemic and guiding the industry forward?

The endocrown combines a ceramic core and crown in a single restoration for severely compromised teeth. In the latest issue of General Dentistry, Andy M. Janiga, DMD, reports on three cases that illustrate the principles of this useful restoration.

As the pandemic continues and practices reopen, many dentists are facing additional difficult questions regarding their teams: “How should I deal with a valuable team member who refuses to be vaccinated? What do I do after discussions and even incentives fail to persuade this team member to be vaccinated?”

“By recruiting colleagues to join AGD, I’ve not only lowered my membership renewal cost, I’m also helping my fellow dentists,” says AGD member Filippo Marchello, DDS, MAGD. Let colleagues know they can join for half off headquarters dues until Sept. 30.
