What is the Academy of General Dentistry?

The AGD is the professional association for general dentists. It is the only organization exclusively dedicated to representing the interests and serving the needs of general dentists.

Why is a Fellowship important?

A dentist who has received their FAGD offers his or her patients cutting-edge care. We have to complete 500 hours of continuing education in various disciplines and then pass a rigorous examination. It’s not easy, but it’s helps to ensure that patients are getting the best possible care available.

How many dentists obtain Fellowship Designation in the Academy of General Dentistry?  

Only 7 percent of general dentists in the US and Canada obtain their FAGD.
