History

Three Generations of Dentistry

Our inspiration is President Dr. Cheddi B Jagan, who earned his DDS degree in 1942 from Northwestern University College of Dentistry. He founded Cheddi Jagan Dental Surgery in Georgetown, Guyana in 1948 and practiced dentistry while pursuing politics. His son, Dr. Cheddi Jagan Jr, earned his DDS degree in 1978 from Howard University College of Dentistry. He purchased his father’s practice in 1993 and opened his NY branch in 2016. The dental tradition continued with Dr. Avasa Jagan, who has worked as an Associate Dentist at her father’s branches and continues to work at the Guyana branch on a locum tenens basis.
