The Chicago Academy of General Dentistry (CAGD) is that component of the Illinois AGD that produces the Chicago AGD Seminar Series. Beginning in September, we provide 4 seminars given by the best local and national lecturers that we can find. The content is determined by the Seminar attendees, and it is geared towards the interests of general dentists. We have an incredible lineup of topics and presentations our membership desires and we found experts in the area of Dental Sleep Medicine and the new specialty of Orofacial Pain that will prove interesting and stimulating as well as beneficial to our patients and in the subjects of interest to AGD members. The Seminar Series is held at Chicago suburban locations in beautiful settings with great food and interaction with the speaker and sponsors is encouraged. The Chicago AGD Seminar Series is committed to education and continues to provide a terrific value for our member dentists.
In addition, our loyal sponsors have partnered with us and continue to support dentists in their commitment to education and daily in our practices. We are so grateful for their support without which we could not provide the quality of education we have enjoyed through the years.
