I’m an FAGD Dentist — What Does That Mean for You and Your Family?
FAGD stands for Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning a Fellowship requires a commitment to continuing dental education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6% of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada achieve this distinction.
When you see FAGD after a dentist’s name, you can feel confident knowing they are dedicated to staying current with the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows regularly practice these techniques in the classroom and hands-on settings multiple times each year—not every dentist does.
To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:
- Complete more than 500 credit hours of continuing education
- Earn at least 350 of those credits through live courses
- Pass an exam comparable in difficulty to board certification exams
