“As you review these awards, a theme starts to emerge: The AAE is truly an association leader in terms of developing compelling digital content and keeping up with digital and social trends,” said Executive Director Ken Widelka. “It’s also clear that we have a powerful message to share: Today’s root canal is painless and state-of-the-art. Root canals are nothing to fear, and saving your natural teeth is critically important.”
And many more such activations are in store. The Association’s Board is placing a strong focus on the public – in fact the AAE’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan proclaims that The public will value saving their natural teeth and seek endodontists – the specialists in saving teeth – for their care. Key outcomes for this goal include increasing the value the public places on saving their natural teeth and increasing public awareness of the specialized training and expertise of endodontists. Additionally, the Association advocates for public awareness of the relationship between oral health and systemic health.
“We have increased AAE’s digital presence and initiated influencer campaigns, to build our connections with the public,” Widelka continued. “And the term ‘endodontist’ is on its way to becoming a household name. We’re just getting started.”
