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

AGD, alongside Minnesota AGD, submitted formal comments to the Minnesota Board of Dentistry expressing concerns about proposed changes to expand the scope of practice for dental therapists. AGD emphasized patient safety considerations related to suturing and hard denture relines and urged further review before any expansion is approved.
