FAGD stands for “Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.” Only 6% of dentists complete the requirements to receive this designation. It is one of the most distinguished awards in general dentistry. Furthermore, it designates that a dentist is committed to excellence in their profession and has a passion for lifelong learning, improvement, and leadership. 

To become a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry requires the following: 

  • Complete a minimum of 500 hours approved continuing education credits 

  • Pass a comprehensive 400-question examination covering 17 disciplines, similar in difficulty to board examinations. 

  • Maintain membership in the AGD for at least 3 consecutive years
