    Who is Dr. Wade Kifer DDS?
    view full bio

    Dr. Wade Kifer, DDS, was born in Missouri and spent his early years there before moving to Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the age of 13. It was during his time in Arkansas that he first developed an interest in dentistry, drawn by his passion for both science and helping others. Dentistry became a natural fit for him, blending his love for both fields.

    After graduating from Southside High School in 1995, Dr. Kifer went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Arkansas in 1999. He was then accepted into the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, where he earned his dental degree in 2003. To further refine his skills, he completed a one-year residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD), focusing on delivering high-quality general dental care.

    While in Tennessee, Dr. Kifer met his wife, Claire, who was studying physical therapy. The two married in 2004 in her hometown of Dyersburg, Tennessee, before relocating to northwest Arkansas. He gained valuable experience working in both an orthodontic practice and a general dental office before joining Dr. Broyles’ practice in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the summer of 2006.

    Dr. Kifer has a deep passion for continuing education and is committed to staying at the forefront of dentistry. He consistently exceeds state requirements by completing over one hundred hours of continuing education annually, five times the minimum required. He has been studying at the Kois Center of Excellence in Seattle since 2008 and is an active member of both the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Arkansas State Dental Association (ASDA). In addition, he serves as the President of the Academy of Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy (AIDT) and volunteers his time at the Fayetteville Free Health Center.

    Outside of his professional life, Dr. Kifer enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Claire, and their three children—Kate, Kinley, and Nicholas—who are the greatest joys in their lives. The family is active in their church and enjoys attending Razorback sports events, including football, basketball, and baseball games. Dr. Kifer also enjoys hiking and canoeing as part of his outdoor hobbies.

What is a root canal?

d
disease-examiner-811

Root canal therapy, also known as RCT, is a dental service performed to treat infections or damage within the pulp chamber of a tooth. The pulp is the tissue located inside the tooth, and it contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When the pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to tooth decay, trauma, or other factors, a root canal treatment may be needed to save the tooth and eliminate pain. Here is how a root canal treatment is performed: 1. Diagnosis and Examination: The first step of the root canal treatment is a complete examination by a general dentist or an endodontist. This typically entails taking X-rays to evaluate the extent of the infection and determine if a root canal is actually needed. Symptoms that may signal the need for a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling of the gums or face, or a pimple-like bump on the gum adjacent to the tooth. 2. Local Anesthesia: Before beginning the treatment, the dentist will inject local anesthesia to numb the infected tooth and surrounding soft tissues. This ensures that the patient stays comfortable throughout the treatment. 3. Accessing the Pulp: Once the tooth is numbed, the endodontist will drill a small hole in the top of the tooth, called an access, to reach the infected or inflamed pulp tissue. This allows the dentist to remove the diseased pulp and clean the root canals. 4. Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canals: Using specialized tools, the dentist will remove the infected or damaged pulp from the root canals. The canals are cleaned and shaped to remove the remaining bacteria, debris, and infection. Irrigation with antimicrobial solutions will then disinfect the canals. 5. Filling the Root Canals: After all the canals have been cleaned and shaped (widened), they are filled with a bio-compatible filling material called gutta-percha. This seals off the canals to prevent re-contamination and provides protection for the tooth structure. 6. Sealing the Access Cavity: After the root canals have been filled, the access cavity is covered with a temporary or permanent filling materials to prevent bacteria and debris from entering it and causing an infection. 7. Restoration: Sometimes, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy may need additional restoration, such as a dental crown (cap), to protect and restore the tooth function. A dental crown is placed on the tooth to restore its natural appearance and functionality. Root canal treatment is very successful in saving teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted because of the infection of the pulp. With proper maintenance and good oral hygiene, a tooth that has gotten a root canal can function normally for years or even decades, allowing patients to preserve their natural smiles.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
