AUSTIN, Texas — Yes, visiting the dentist is as much fun as, well, a root canal, but skipping out can be costly over the long run.
While how well you brush and floss are the biggest parts of dental health, where you live has an impact too, according to a new report from WalletHub.
Texas, unfortunately, came in at number 45 on the list of states with the best and worst dental health.

As an Endodontist, I think we can make root canals fine and even a “fun” experience in our practice. Let’s try not to continue the age-old pain or fun meter with the analogy of a “root canal.” It’s an unjustified bad reputation in the modern age of endodontics.
