A general dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is qualified to provide diagnosis, treatment, management, and overall coordination of services.
Founded in Chicago in 1952, the Academy of General Dentistry is a nonprofit international professional association representing over 40,000 general dentists, primarily from the United States and Canada. The organization promotes proficiency through continuing education and offers Fellowship and Mastership designations for qualifying members.
