Oral & Oropharyngeal Cancer Prevention, Detection & Treatment: A Foundational Series in Comprehensive Care

Join us for an informative quarterly webinar series dedicated to advancing awareness, education, and action against oral cancer.

The AGD Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its new quarterly webinar series, Oral & Oropharyngeal Cancer Detection & Prevention: A Foundational Series, dedicated to advancing awareness, education, and action against oral cancer.

In 2026, more than 59,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with some form of oral or oropharyngeal cancer. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story, which is why our commitment to promoting early detection and prevention has never been more vital.

What Happens After Cancer? A Conversation Dentists Need to Hear.

  • Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 8pm EDT
