At AGD2025, the focus is on CE that you can implement Monday when you return to your practice. Learn new techniques, hone your skills, and return to your practice refreshed and ready to put your new tricks to work right away.
Hands-On Learning
AGD’s scientific sessions are always known for exceptional hands-on courses that specifically relate to the needs of general dentists. After learning from world-renowned experts in lecture courses, attendees can immediately practice what they’ve learned in one of the Learning Labs.
Learn from Your Peers
Celebrate AGD’s spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, and learn from your peers with AGD2025’s Take the Floor series, where speakers will present symposium-style sessions featuring timely and relevant topics in dentistry. These 45-minute presentations (35 minutes of lecture, followed by 10 minutes for Q&A) allow experts to explore clinical topics and innovations as well as mental and physical well-being. Participants will gain invaluable insights into the field’s most pressing challenges, enhancing their professional growth. Speakers consist primarily of your fellow AGD members, including FAGD and MAGD awardees.
