Advanced Education in General Dentistry

Program Overview

GPR resident performing clinical phases of general dentistry utilizing a full-time assistantThe Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS), Temple, Texas, selects one  or two one year residents annually. All residency programs at the CTVHCS in medicine and dentistry are under the Texas A&M School of Medicine Dean’s Committee.  The AEGD program is fully accredited by the American Dental Association.  The distinct advantage of the program is lack of specialties to diminish the general practice residents' experiences.
