Thousands of Endodontists Descend Upon Chicago for American Association of Endodontists’ Annual Meeting May 3-6

 

CHICAGO –The American Association of Endodontists (AAE), announced it is looking forward to welcoming thousands of its member endodontists and dental professionals to its annual meeting, AAE23, in Chicago May 3-6.

Endodontists are dental specialists who relieve patients’ tooth pain and save their natural teeth via root canal treatment. The AAE provides its members with the highest quality continuing dental education programs and opportunities to hear from industry experts about new technologies. AAE23 will also feature a Keynote address from former NFL player, Jon Dorenbos.    AAE23 also includes several special events, including the President's Breakfast, the Edgar D. Coolidge Award Ceremony, and the annual General Assembly Business meeting, not to mention several evening receptions. To learn more about AAE23 or view all the program offerings, please visit aae.org/aae23.    This year is extra special for the AAE, as the stars have aligned to place members in the Association’s home city of Chicago during Save Your Tooth Month.    “May is our annual month-long celebration of saving teeth, and, coupled with our annual meeting taking place in our home city,  the place where it all began, we knew we had to do something big to mark the occasion,” said AAE President Dr. Stefan I. Zweig.     And the Association did just that: On April 26, a special pop-up event took place outside of the Association’s offices at 180 N. Stetson (Two Prudential Plaza), complete with games, giveaways, and even “superheroes of saving teeth.”     The celebrations are only just beginning.     “We urge Chicagoans to LOOK UP,” Dr. Zweig advised. “Look up at someone’s smile (after all, according to our recent survey, teeth are among the first things we notice about a person – almost instantly!). Look up an endodontist on findmyendodontist.com. Look up at the sky for long enough on May 5-7, and you will see the AAE’s special tooth-saving message and colors light up the skyline of Chicago! That’s right; our home city will truly glow in honor of Save Your Tooth Month, making our important message known to all Chicagoans: Smiles Are Worth Saving.”    For more information about Save Your Tooth Month, visit aae.org/saveteeth.    ###    About the American Association of Endodontists:   The AAE is headquartered in Chicago and represents more than 8,000 members worldwide.
