    The AAE is aware that dental plans’ unfair practices threaten your practice. We prioritize advocacy efforts to empower endodontists in contract and billing disputes with these plans. However, we need more case studies and stories from endodontists like you to drive meaningful change. Please take five minutes to support our advocacy efforts by sharing your experiences and urging Congress to pass pro-dentist policies that create a fairer dental insurance landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Throughout the year, AAE President Dr. Natasha Flake and your Practice Affairs Committee leaders, Drs. Kenneth Wiltbank, Elizabeth Perry, and Beth Damas actively meet with dental plan executives and top dental organizations to advocate for better coverage and reimbursement for endodontic treatments. Your AAE advocacy leaders are fighting for you but seek your help.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
