Advocacy

Welcome to Advocacy

As the general dentist’s advocate, the AGD monitors important issues that may affect the way general dentists practice both on the local and national level, assists our members in matters of dental care, and offers the public information about advancing oral health. In addition, in this section we provide our members with the resources to advocate for their profession, their practice, and for the betterment of public dental health care.
