Mission
The American Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is a professional organization dedicated to providing quality dental care and oral health education to the public. AGD represents the needs and interests of general dentists. A general dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, management, and overall coordination of services related to patient's oral health needs.

Membership Benefits
We are the second largest dental association in the U.S., but the only dental association that exclusively serves the needs and represents the interests of the general dentist. Joining a student chapter of AGD grants students access to free and discounted CE courses, CE tracking, social events, networking opportunities, and more including resources for furthering education, and advice to help in the transition from student to new dentist.
