Dr. Michael E. Abrams founded and directs the Brooklyn Dental Forum, an advanced, continuing education symposium, offered several times each year, to bring the latest in dental technology and innovation to dentists, dental specialists and hygienists in the tri-state area. The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) designates the Brooklyn Dental Forum with PACE status as an approved program provider of continuing education credits. Dentists and allied dental professionals are required to stay abreast of the dental field to maintain membership in the AGD. Taking courses through the Forum should enable practitioners to meet the requirement.
