Joseph B Young DMD FAGD

I spent the weekend in Nashville accepting my Fellowship award from the Academy of General Dentistry which was a very neat experience.  There was a weekend full of continuing education and a formal graduation ceremony.  I was one of 3 dentists in the state of Oregon to receive the award this year.

The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is recognized by the American Dental Association and the Oregon Board of dentistry such that my fellowship designation adds initials to the end my name in many situations.  Now I can place signage for my office that says Joseph B Young DMD FAGD.  Many of my hours were acquired through my one year Hospital base residency, while the rest were through the dental implant maxicourse and Ken Reed's IV sedation course.

Maybe now I can get around to changing my name on the signs outside my office.
