Your Teeth are Worth Saving
AAE’s public awareness campaign
“Worth Saving” is meant to bring to life that, like your natural teeth, there are things, people and places that are worth revering.
At the AAE Board’s directive, implement a multi-year public awareness campaign with the goal that:
“The public will value saving their natural teeth and seek endodontists as the first choice for their care. They will understand what an endodontist does and how they are different from general dentistry providers.”
“Worth Saving” is meant to bring to life that, like your natural teeth, there are things, people and places that are worth revering.
