Academy of General Dentistry Leaders Head to Capitol Hill in May
AGD leaders met in Washington, DC, recently to address legislative issues impacting dentistry and ways to protect oral health care. As part of the two-day event, about 30 general dentists representing AGD meet with lawmakers on legislative issues impacting their profession and how patient care is delivered to dental patients.
AGD Statement on American Medical Association’s Approval of a New Category III CPT Code
The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is concerned that the American Medical Association’s (AMA) recent decision to allow non-dental health care workers to administer silver diamine fluoride is a temporary solution to a growing oral health crisis.

Kevin E. O’Connor, CSP, CEC
Subject: 550 Practice Management and Human Relations
Credits: 1
Method: Lecture
Thursday, Aug. 1: 7:30–8:30 p.m. CDT
Audience: Students, Residents, Dentists

Description
Office management often consumes the thinking of the practitioner: Who does what, when and how? Leadership is a different and vital skill that is needed for a practice to grow and sustain a special identity in the community. Positioning the dentist as a leader – and not just a manager – allows for a different, perhaps executive, kind of relationship with the practice and community. This webinar is devoted to what leaders do beyond management and how it impacts their reputation and identity with others.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the critical difference between a well-managed practice and a well-led practice.
- Assess the myths and realities of being a dentist leader.
- Discuss how your leadership is understood and felt by your team members and the difference it makes for them.
- Apply specific techniques that can begin your leadership journey.
