CHICAGO, IL, USA: Howard Gamble, DMD, FAGD, of Sheffield, Ala., was installed as president of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) during the AGD 2011 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, held July 28 to 31, in San Diego, Calif. “Being chosen to lead the AGD’s 37,000 members is one of the greatest achievements of my career,” Gamble said.

“Our members can take solace in knowing that the organization is working tirelessly every day, advocating and protecting the rights of general dentists,” Gamble said. “We also foster our members’ ongoing learning through quality continuing dental education so that they may better serve their patients and the public.”

A member of the AGD since 1979, Gamble has served the organization in many capacities, including as speaker of the house and national spokesperson for the AGD. Gamble has also served the AGD on the National Sponsor Approval and Internet Committees; the Marketplace Task Force; and the Legislative and Governmental Affairs, Dental Practice, and Communications Councils. He is a past president of both the Alabama AGD and the Alabama Dental Association and has served as a delegate or alternate delegate to the American Dental Association (ADA) for 10 years and the AGD for 17 years.

Gamble has also presented lectures on the use of technology in the dental office at numerous dental meetings, including those presented by the ADA and the AGD. He has authored articles for AGD Impact, the AGD’s monthly newsmagazine, and other dental publications, as well.

Gamble is an active member of the ADA and is a Fellow in the American College of Dentists, the International College of Dentists, and the Academy of Dentistry International. He graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 1967 and has been practicing dentistry in Sheffield for more than 42 years.
