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.

Moderator
Clayton Sorrells, DDS, is the owner dentist at Glenwood Family Dentistry and the New Dentists columnist for AGD Impact. He graduated from the dental school at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a registered nurse for three years before going to dental school.
Panelists
Sam Asthana, DDS, FAGD, took an unconventional path to dentistry, initially pursuing a music career. As a saxophonist, Asthana experienced jaw pain that eventually led him to dentistry.
Blake Edward Bandeff, DMD, knew he wanted a career where he could deliver a visible difference in people’s lives. His proudest achievement is building a practice that embraces both cosmetic and implant technologies. His practice focuses not only on restoring function but also on creating natural, esthetic results tailored to each individual.
Alexandra J. Fushi, DMD, MPH, was drawn to dentistry before she lost her first tooth. Fushi’s practice, Mint To Be Family Dentistry, focuses on a personalized approach to patient care. She emphasizes a bidirectional relationship with patients.
Brandi R. Hair, DMD, was inspired to pursue dentistry after witnessing her family’s struggles with accessing affordable dental care. What makes Hair’s practice unique is its commitment to “meeting patients where they are,” both geographically and in terms of oral health literacy. Through mobile dentistry and clear communication, her practice breaks down barriers, helping patients better understand and engage with their oral health.
