A Year Worth Saving: A Look Back
Despite a global pandemic, the AAE’s public awareness initiative Worth Saving achieved new levels during 2021. It took on a slightly new tone and a strengthened focus on preserving natural teeth and oral health.
Worth Saving is AAE’s multi-year public awareness campaign that educates the public about the value of saving the natural teeth and helping them seek endodontists for treatment. Before setting out to achieve new milestones in this new year, we’re taking some time to look back and reflect on last year’s Top Ten successes, in the spirit of New Year’s Eve’s countdown to midnight.
