The Mastership Award is the highest honor available in the AGD and one of the most respected designations in the profession. This accomplishment meets the highest criteria for professional excellence. To accomplish this, Dr. Goodrich completed 1,100 hours of continuing dental education in the 16 disciplines of dentistry, including 400 hours dedicated to hands-on skills and techniques. As a recipient of this award, Dr. Goodrich has joined over 3,500 members of the dental community who understand that great smiles and good oral health for their patients are the result of going above and beyond basic requirements.

"Becoming an AGD Master means a dentist has taken part in some of the most rigorous continuing dental education programs today," said Connie L White, DDS, FAGD, AGD President. "Only two percent of all dentists have gone on to earn Mastership from the AGD. We are proud to honor Dr. Goodrich for her commitment and dedication to provide her patients with advanced and exceptional oral health care.
