Reaching Out During Root Canal Awareness Week

The 10th celebration of Root Canal Awareness Week featured new videos, a new kickoff event and endodontists making news in their communities. AAE members Drs. Kirk Coury of Amarillo Endodontics and Derek Peek of Eastern Iowa Endodontics were interviewed by local television stations inTexas andIowa, respectively, about endodontists, root canal treatment and the importance of saving teeth. Local news is an effective and powerful way to reach potential patients and raise the profile of endodontists as the specialists in saving teeth.

Brand NEW

After more than a year of extensive research and planning, the AAE unveiled its new brand at AAE16 in San Francisco. The elements of the new brand – including a new logo and refreshed website – will help the AAE better represent the smart, professional, collaborative and innovative nature of AAE members and the endodontic specialty overall.

Not Your Average Root Canal

Endodontists go through years of training to become specialists in saving teeth. They acquire specific skills and knowledge to manage a variety of complex situations that may arise while diagnosing and treating their patients’ tooth pain. That holds true whether the patient is a human being – or a 400-pound bear. When zoo animals need root canal treatment, veterinarians and zookeepers turn to AAE-member endodontists for their expertise in saving teeth and relieving pain.

Working Together for the Specialty

As the outgoing president of the College of Diplomates, I would like to say “thank you” to the AAE for providing me with the opportunity to reach out to all AAE members on behalf of the COD.

Fighting for Dentistry: ADA 2015-2016 Lobbying Accomplishments

Even in an election year and with a divided Congress, the American Dental Association’s committed advocacy on behalf of the profession has achieved results. I can attest to the day-in and day-out dedication of ADA staff and leadership as well as their visible presence on Capitol Hill.

The AAE reinforces ADA efforts by supporting the American Dental Political Action Committee and by co-signing to targeted communications to key legislators and regulators.

President’s Message: Swan Song

I am at the end. the end of my year as president of the AAE.

It has been a challenging year, but a rewarding one. My mantra has been “onward and upward,” a battle cry adopted as we transitioned from an exiting executive director to our acting executive director, Ms, Trina R. Andresen Coe. I have called on our staff and Board of Directors to move forward with focused determination, pride and strength. And soon, we will do so under a new executive director, Mr. Kenneth J. Widelka, who will bring energy and leadership to the AAE.
