This Saturday, we will celebrate National Dentist’s Day. As we reflect on the past year, I encourage you to use this occasion to reflect on the year we’ve faced, the work you’ve done, and the contributions you’ve made to your practice, your community and your staff. You’ve used your voice to preserve and protect our profession, and this effort is critical now and in the future. 

COVID-19 transformed our lives and our work. We were forced to make changes, but we never lost our commitment to service. Through resilience and hard work, our practices continue to operate and support the oral health needs of our patients and communities. 

AGD was founded by general dentists dedicated to quality dental education, and we foster excellence so that our members stay current on all the trends and techniques needed to serve the oral health needs of their patients.

In advance of National Dentist’s Day, I want to say how grateful I am to work with such dedicated dentists and colleagues. Thank you for being a part of the AGD community.
