Gregory J Daniels has been a proud member of the Academy of General
Dentistry for over 20 years.The main
thrust of the Academy has always been to promote quality continuing education
for dental professionals.In my
practicing career, every aspect of dentistry has changed such that little of
what I do daily was taught in dental school.In order to keep up with clinical and technical advances, dentists must
spend adequate time and effort to continue their education.
In 1994, I became a Fellow of the Academy of General
Dentistry (FAGD).This was a milestone
achievement, which involved the successful completion of 500 hours of education
and a comprehensive examination.At the
outset of this course of study, I merely desired to keep current as a
dentist.Attaining a Fellowship later
became a goal whereby I could show my children the value of making a lifelong
commitment to education.
Th AGD is very involved in informing the general public
through two excellent websites. I consider these sites to be indispensable
sources of information for anyone who has teeth.
