In 2011, Dr. Susan Estep achieved the award of Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). To earn a Fellowship award, a dentist must complete at least 500 continuing dental education hours, pass a rigorous and comprehensive exam, and maintain AGD membership for three continuous years.

In 2010, Dr. Estep helped found the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH), a group of healthcare providers dedicated to expanding awareness of the relationship between oral health and whole-body health. AAOSH members come from all healthcare disciplines and include the nation’s healthcare leaders. Dr. Susan Estep sits on the Executive Board for AAOSH and chaired its inaugural scientific session in 2010. Since 2010, Dr. Estep has remained an active board member, passionate about educating dentists and teams in oral-systemic health.
