Meet the Doctors
Dr. Jesse D. Fast
Dr. Fast enjoys all different areas of dentistry, and this is why he chose general dentistry. This Huron dentist is a lifelong learner and places a high priority on continuing education. He attends many educational seminars a year to gain more knowledge and skills to better serve and treat his patients. In June 2015, Dr. Fast received his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, which requires three years of membership, a minimum of 500 approved CE credits, pass a comprehensive written exam, apply for the award, and attend an AGD convention ceremony. Then, in July 2023 Dr. Fast attained Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, which is the highest honor available in the AGD. To attain Mastership, AGD Fellows mush earn an additional 600 approved hours of continuing education credits meeting the minimum requirements in each of the 16 dental disciplines. In addition, 400 hours of the required credits mush be from participation courses, where skills are learned through hands-on training. In AGD’s 70-year history, 18265 members have earned Fellowship while only 3767 have received Mastership. Also, to demonstrate the significance of this award, only 6% of dentists have earned AGD Fellowship and 4% have earned Mastership. The awards earned demonstrate Dr. Fast’s long-term commitment to go above and beyond continuing education requirements to provide his patients with the most up-to-date treatment options and superior patient care!
