At Joplin Family Dental, our team is dedicated to providing a strong foundation for great oral hygiene and health. It is recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice a day (four minutes each time) and floss once a day. You are an important piece of the puzzle to successful dental health.

A professional examination and teeth cleaning by a Registered Dental Hygienist is recommended for most people every six months. This professional cleaning will supplement the oral hygiene you maintain at home and will help protect your teeth from decay and prevent cavities. Diagnostic x-rays allow us to see beginning decay between the teeth and at the gumline.

A Preventive Care appointment includes more than a professional cleaning. Our Hygienists will also do a cancer screening and update your medical history. Preventive care and professional teeth cleaning appointments allow us to treat many dental problems early before they become more serious.

I’ve been going to Joplin Family Dental for 6-7 years. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And we love Dr. Kirk. My son is physically challenged and they’ve always really worked to make it the easiest possible. Beth, our hygienist, is super and we love her, too. As a formerly anxious dental patient, I highly recommend Joplin Family Dental.

Always happy to see the folks in the reception desks. They are friendly and always willing to help as needed. They're genuinely interested in the welfare of my family. Lisa is my hygienist. She understands my particular needs and sees to it that they are met. I feel totally relaxed having Lisa delve around in my mouth. My experience with others within the practice are equally positive.

I am always in the best of care when I visit my dentist and his dental technicians!!
I never dread or fear going to my appointment, because they are the best at making me comfortable!!
Dr. Paustian, Susan, and Becky have always done such a great job taking care of my teeth and making sure the procedure has been pain-free.

Where to start, I’ve been a patient here for some time and while all the staff from the receptionist to my hygienist, Beth is great. Devon is my favorite. She’s very personal and caring and so knowledgeable I’m what she does. Definitely, in my opinion what keeps me coming back.
