Endodontists Provide Free Root Canals To Bostonians

The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) provided more than 50 endodontic treatments to patients in need in the Boston area on November 18. The services were given in collaboration with the endodontics departments at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Department of Endodontics; Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Division of Endodontics; and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Department of Endodontics.

The free services provided are part of AAE’s Worth Saving campaign, which emphasizes the importance of saving natural treasures like your teeth. The AAE held a contest last March spotlighting four natural landmarks from around the country and asked Americans to vote on which one they felt was most “worth saving.” Boston’s Charles River Esplanade won the contest and, with it, a $20,000 donation from AAE, as well as $30,000 in donated endodontic care for Boston residents.

All three Boston dental schools volunteered to provide the endodontic treatments totaling more than $59,000 in value. Read more about the Worth Saving campaign at aae.org/patients
