The publication included an entire AGD press release that reported the outcome of the Colorado State Dental Board hearing about a proposed mandate for Colorado AGD members with Fellowship or Mastership awards to include a burdensome disclaimer in their advertisements.

AGD Foundation and the Southern California Wildfires
The AGD Foundation is working to address the needs of AGD members in the areas affected by the Southern California wildfires. Please contact us immediately at foundation@agd.org if you know of any members in these affected areas and their potential need for assistance. Be on the lookout for more messages regarding what the AGD Foundation is doing to help members rebuild their lives and practices and their ability to serve the rest of the affected population.
 

Tell Us What You Think
Please take a few minutes to complete the Membership Maintenance Survey so that the AGD can better serve your needs, and the needs of the profession.  The survey is brief—just three minutes—but your participation can truly help to advance the value and excellence of general dentistry. Thank you!  Please take the Survey!
 
We'll be posting a new survey online each month to get regular feedback from all AGD members.
