For the fourth year in a row, the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) Board of Directors became Capital Club members of the American Dental Political Action Committee (ADPAC).
All members of the board who attended the ADA annual meeting in Las Vegas last month made personal donations of at least $200 to ADPAC.
ADPAC works to fund and elect congressional candidates who support dental health and understand the importance oral health contributes to overall wellness, regardless of party affiliation, according to the AAE. The group also provides educational opportunities for dentists interested in running for public office.
Individuals who join the ADA's Grassroots Action E-List receive alerts requesting communication with members of U.S. Congress as dental and oral health issues arise.
The AAE urges its members to become involved in organized dentistry and advocacy initiatives through its Step Up program, whose aim is to advance endodontics through leadership and community service.
