Millions of teeth are treated and saved with root canals every year, relieving pain and making teeth healthy again. Root canals are effective in treating a damaged or diseased tooth.

The need for a root canal is due to infection in your tooth. The level of infection in the tooth leads to your pain. The pain may subside but will return as long as the infection remains. Treatment is necessary as soon as possible to alleviate future discomfort.

With recent advances and technology, a root canal is very similar to a routine filling. You will be smiling and chewing with ease soon.

Saving your tooth with a root canal has several advantages:

Natural appearance (no missing tooth)

Mormal chewing

Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

Prevents loss of a natural tooth and protects the integrity of the adjacent teeth

Root canals help you maintain your natural smile and help you eat the foods you love. It prevents the need for future dental treatment such as a bridge or implant to replace the missing tooth. With proper care, most teeth that have had a root canal can last a lifetime.

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.

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.
