"Root canal treatment is not only a tooth-saving procedure that preserves smiles and improves dental health, new research suggests that it can have far-reaching medical benefits that impact the entire body.
"
"Endodontists advocate saving
teeth as nothing looks, functions, or feels like
our natural teeth."
"As an endodontist who specializes in saving natural teeth, I have a front-row seat when it comes to observing the nuances of oral health. I can tell who is a flosser, a fan of tooth whiteners, and the sweet tooths among us."
Dr. Katz on KevinMD
"When a tooth is infected or giving you pain, having it pulled may seem like the easiest option, but dental specialists called endodontists say that saving natural teeth whenever possible is better for your oral health, your overall health and your CONFIDENCE. 
"
Social Media
AAE’s social footprint has continued to grow significantly, particularly since the launch of its TikTok presence in late 2024. Collaborations with medical and lifestyle influencers have extended the reach of AAE messaging to audiences well beyond traditional dental channels.

Every year during the month of May, the AAE celebrates Save Your Tooth Month (SYTM) and encourages our members to do the same. It's a month-long recognition of the endodontic specialty and the superheroes of saving teeth. It provides an opportunity to spread the Worth Saving message far and wide, emphasizing the importance of saving natural teeth and the benefits of root canal treatment.
From social media campaigns and television appearances to state proclamations and large-scale activations, SYTM is always worth celebrating. There are many ways to get involved when May rolls around.
Campaign Videos
The AAE produced professional videos to truly get into the spirit of what's "Worth Saving" and to get to know some other "savers" out there who work to save, preserve and revere something.
