The AGD has worked diligently with constituents to help address issues during the COVID-19 emergency. This has included providing resources, creating state-specific action alerts and helping compose and send letters to government entities that express concerns of general dentists within their state. We are continually monitoring any action by state and territory governments, and assisting constituents as new issues arise or persist. 

It is strongly encouraged that AGD members review all advocacy efforts related to COVID-19 which are highlighted on the AGD Coronavirus Webpage. Additionally, members should visit the AGD Action Center for access to specific efforts and to take action on pertinent issues. 

If you would like more information on legislative matters in your state or are interested in carrying out advocacy efforts on AGD issues, please contact us at advocacy@agd.org or visit the AGD’s Advocacy webpage.
