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.
Root Canal Awareness Week, March 28 – April 3, 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.
A Member Planning Guide (PDF download, 2 MB) is available to assist you with outreach in your community. In the Guide, you will find information to help you work with local media, suggestions to promote your practice, a Root Canal Awareness Week poster (high-quality PDF download, 9 MB) and much more. Use Root Canal Awareness Week to inform the public that root canal treatment isn't the myth they have come to accept and that endodontists can provide a relaxing and virtually pain-free experience. It is also a good time to build partnerships with general dentists to emphasize the high-quality patient care you provide.
