Root Canal Awareness Week
Root Canal Awareness Week 2010:
If You Need a Root Canal, See an Endodontist
The American Association of Endodontists advocates for the valuable role that endodontists play on the dental team. Root canal specialists who bring high-quality care, compassion and comfort to patients deserve recognition for their service and commitment.
It’s not too soon to start thinking about how your practice can participate in Root Canal Awareness Week, taking place March 28 – April 3. This event is a national effort to raise awareness of endodontists, so that patients and general dentists know to contact a specialist when a root canal is needed. It is an excellent time to explain the important role endodontists play in dental health, and to teach the public that root canals should not be feared.
The AAE will again provide a Member Planning Guide to assist you with outreach in your community. The Guide will include materials such as posters, news releases and patient education materials that you can tailor to your needs. You can also expect new materials to help in reaching out to your referring dentists during Root Canal Awareness Week and throughout the year. Members will be notified via e-mail when the Guide is available to download from the AAE Web site.
