Join the American Association of Endodontists in celebration of Root Canal Awareness Week (March 25 - 31, 2012), a national effort to raise awareness of endodontists, so that patients and general dentists know to contact a specialist when a root canal is needed. It is an excellent time to explain the important role endodontists play in dental health, and to teach the public that root canals should not be feared.

While 63 percent of Americans want to avoid getting a root canal, even more, 69 percent, want to avoid losing a permanant tooth — something a root canal procedure can help to prevent. Americans want to avoid losing a permanent tooth more than getting the flu, paying taxes or speaking in public.
The American Association of Endodontists advocates for the valuable role that endodontists play on the dental team. Root canal specialists who bring high-quality care, compassion and comfort to patients deserve recognition for their service and commitment.
