A dentist practicing in Newport Beach has earned recognition from the Academy of General Dentistry, according to a news release.

Nicholas C. Davis has been awarded the 2012 Lifelong Learning & Service Recognition (LLSR).

To earn this honor, Davis completed at least 1,600 hours of dental education in 16 different dental disciplines, according to the release. He has also been active in volunteering in his community, mentoring associates and more.
