Membership

President's Welcome

Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the membership section of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Web site. This portion of the site is intended to help you become familiar with all of the resources the AGD offers you as a member. Please take a moment to review all the information available here and make sure you are taking full advantage of your AGD membership as a tool to enhance your dental career.

You will want to visit the Advocacy section of the Web site to read how the AGD, as the voice of general dentistry, is facing challenges from government, third party interests, and other entities that affect our members and the patients they treat. Representing our membership in this fashion is our top priority. The results of the AGD’s recent hard work representing the general dentist appear in the Advocacy section of the Web site.

Also, stay on top of your continuing education (CE) credits with our local and online CE opportunities, and AGD Licensing Board Transcript and Award Transcripts. You can view and edit your transcript and member profile using the “My CE” and “My Profile” buttons at the top of the page.

As a member, you can also order fact sheets and Dentalnotes to educate your patients, learn about discounts available through our AGD Benefits Plus program, and get the latest news and contact information, and much more. Dental students and residents: Be sure to visit the membership section specifically designed for you!

I encourage you to visit this site frequently for additions and updates to your benefits as an AGD member. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact the Membership Services Center at 888.AGD.DENT (243.3368) or membership@agd.org.

Warm Regards,


Paula S. Jones, DDS, FAGD
2008 - 2009 President, Academy of General Dentistry
