AAE Piles on the Media Moments, Most Recently Featured on NBC5 Chicago and in People Magazine

The AAE has enjoyed a series of high-profile media hits, including two instances of being included in major titles, and a major influencer collaboration.

Most recently, AAE President Dr. Natasha M. Flake was quoted in People about the dangers of “Veneer Techs,” unqualified cosmetic dentistry technicians who have gained popularity on social media. As Dr. Flake and others warn, a perfect smile is not worth the risk.

Also recently, AAE President Dr. Natasha M. Flake contributed to a New York Times article that lists five common, avoidable behaviors that often land people at the dentist. Dr. Flake warns about the dental trauma chewing on hard, inedible items can cause.

Niles, Ill., member Dr. Brett Gilbert was featured in a two-part series on cracked and knocked-out teeth on NBC5 Chicago, along with his patient.

AAE President-Elect Dr. Steven J. Katz was extensively quoted in a recent TIME article, How to Tell if You’re Clenching Your Jaw—and How to Stop, that was also syndicated on AOL and Yahoo.

And, as if the publication was on an endodontics streak, another AAE member also was recently featured in a TIME article, Reading This Will Make You Want to Floss: Dr. Anita Aminoshariae. The article also mentioned how Dr. Aminoshariae and her co-authors found that people with very poor oral health—those with 10 or fewer natural teeth left in their mouths—were about 66% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than people with more robust smiles. More on that here.

Lastly, we also launched two mass-released news articles which were picked up on more than 1,200 print and online outlets each: Debunking 5 Common Myths About Root Canal Treatment and Why a Healthier Mouth Equals a Healthier You.
