Free root canals
provided during AAE’s
Access to Care Project
The American Association of
Endodontists (AAE) provided root
canal treatment to 55 underserved
patients during the association’s
Access to Care Project held in conjunction with its recent annual session in San Antonio, Texas. The
AAE volunteers provided more than
$80,000 worth of free endodontic
treatment to those who could not
otherwise have afforded it.
“To do this many root canals in
one day is phenomenal, and it means
so much to us,” said David Phipps,
executive director of the San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic (SACDC),
which hosted the Access to Care
Project. “The AAE’s project is not
only saving teeth, it is cutting six
months from our waiting list.”
The SACDC provides charitable
dental care to indigent persons in
keeping with Christian ministry.
In 2010, the clinic recorded nearly
38,000 patient visits and provided
services and volunteer hours valued
at $3.2 million. SACDC features 16
state-of-the-art operatories and pro-
vides a full range of dental services.
“Raising awareness of the importance of oral health care and improving access to that care are priorities
of the entire dental community, and
the AAE is honored to help support
the work of the SACDC,” said Dr.
Clara M. Spatafore, AAE immediate past president. “The patients we
treated may have had extractions
if we weren’t able to help, but the
AAE’s Access to Care Project will
help them keep their natural teeth
for a lifetime.”
More than 100 volunteers participated in Access to Care, including 38 endodontists and residents
from the University of Texas at San
Antonio, University of Texas at Houston and Baylor College of Dentistry.
The event also received support and
equipment donations from Henry
Schein Dental/Henry Schein Cares.
“I was a little bit worried when
I came in,” said patient Chandra
Bhujel, but after her root canal procedure she was relieved. “Now I
don’t have any pain.”
Another root canal patient, Charlotte Byrd, said she was pleased with
her experience. “I think the endodontist was very caring and concerned
about my pain. I think he did not want
me to feel any pain, and I felt very
comfortable in his care.”
Nationwide, more than 80 percent of AAE members are engaged in
charitable services within their communities year-round. A recent AAE
member survey shows that endodontists provide an average of 10 free root
canals each year.
About the AAE
The American Association of Endodontists, headquartered in Chicago, Ill., represents more than 7,200
members worldwide. Endodontics is
one of nine dental specialties formally
recognized by the American Dental
Association. The AAE, founded in
1943, is dedicated to excellence in the
art and science of endodontics and to
the highest standard of patient care. ET
