Winter 2025 President’s Message
Dear GAGD Members,
I am thrilled about what 2025 has in store for the Georgia Academy of General Dentistry! Our Board is working hard to bring you exceptional learning opportunities and elevate the value of your GAGD membership like never before.
First, I invite you to join us on February 25 from 5-6 PM for an incredible webinar designed for both doctors and hygienists. We are honored to welcome Dr. Witt Wilkerson and Lora Hooper, RDH, who will share invaluable insights on implementing the oral-systemic connections into everyday practice. You definitely want to register your hygienist(s) to learn with you, as we will highlight the elevated and essential role of the hygienist in comprehensive patient care. I promise this is an event you do not want to miss!
And that’s just the beginning. We are beyond excited to announce our upcoming in-person CE event in Atlanta on April 25! This dynamic day of learning will feature cutting-edge courses on:
✅ Composite Veneers – Master the artistry and technique of injection mold composite veneers for stunning esthetic results.
✅ Digital Dentistry & 3D Printing – Explore the latest innovations shaping modern dental workflows for restorations, aligners, cosmetic dentistry including hands-on digital printing, processing, and finishing of an oral appliance.
✅ AI in Dentistry – Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care.
This is an amazing opportunity to network, learn, and grow with your colleagues while gaining valuable hands-on experience with the latest advancements in dentistry. More information coming in the next few days. Please stay tuned to the website and watch your inbox for more information.
We are also focused on growing our GAGD community, and we need your help! Please invite your colleagues to join us for our webinars and in-person events. The more we grow, the more value we can bring to our members.
And, finally, we invite you to get involved! Please join a committee and start having fun behind the scenes while your efforts contribute to the success of your GAGD constituency. Click here to sign up to participate in a committee!
Thank you for being part of GAGD—we look forward to learning and growing together in 2025!
