Dr. Chen received his Fellowship in Academy of General Dentistry in Montreal Canada 2025

If your dentist is a Fellow or Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD or MAGD), they are the best of the best in the field. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows, and less than 2 percent are AGD Masters. You can rest assured that your dentist cares about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. Your dentist practices these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year — not every dentist does this.

To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:

• Complete over 500 credit hours of continuing education.

• Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses.

• Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.
