Above, Dr. Frederic Barnett, Mr. Steve Kess, Mr. John Ferone, Dr. Mary T. Pettiette,  Dr. Louis E. Rossman,  Dr. Daniella Peinado at the Union League in Philadelphia<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On October 4, 2018, the Foundation for Endodontics will receive the 2018 Shils Fund Special Recognition Award at the Union League in Philadelphia in honor of its outreach program and support of Project Home. One of only two such awards granted annually by the Shils Entrepreneurial Fund, this exceptional tribute acknowledges the Foundation\u2019s efforts to serve low-income patients who might otherwise face tooth extraction.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mary T. Pettiette, D.D.S., President of the Board of Trustees, will accept the award on behalf of the Foundation. \u201cThe Foundation for Endodontics is honored that we have been selected to receive the prestigious 2018 Shils Fund Special Recognition Award,\u201d said Pettiette. \u201cOne focus of our mission is providing access to endodontic care to underserved patients. We hope that the success of this first domestic program will lead to many others, supporting our efforts to help patients retain their natural teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Foundation opened its endodontics operatory at north Philadelphia\u2019s Stephen Klein Wellness Center, operated by Project Home, in April 2018, in keeping with its mission expansion in 2016 to include access to care and following the success of a similar international project in Jamaica. The operatory is staffed by endodontic residents and faculty members from Einstein\u2019s I.B. Bender Division of Endodontics, Department of Dental Medicine, including Philadelphia endodontist and Past President of the Foundation for Endodontics, Dr. Louis Rossman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dream of the Foundation is to save natural teeth, treat infections and restore self-esteem by providing access to root canal treatment for patients who otherwise would lose their teeth and suffer the pain and social consequences.\u201d said Rossman.<\/p>\n

As with the outreach program in Jamaica, the operatory in Philadelphia provides free root canal treatment to uninsured, low-income and homeless patients, educating them on the importance of good dental care and what is possible to save their teeth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank our individual and corporate supporters for their generous contributions which help make Foundation projects like these a reality,\u201d said Pettiette. \u201cIn particular, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Brasseler and Henry Schein Inc., for making endodontic equipment available for use in the operatory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
