Severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling often signals an infection deep within the tooth—an infection that cannot heal on its own. Instead of removing the tooth, root canal therapy offers a precise, conservative solution that eliminates infection while preserving the natural structure of your tooth. At dentmind, we perform root canal treatment with a gentle, modern approach designed to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and restore full dental function.
Root canals are one of the most effective long-term treatments in dentistry, with success rates above 95% when performed correctly. For patients in Nairobi seeking reliable, comfortable care, this procedure provides a path to healing without losing your natural tooth.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy—also called endodontic treatment—involves removing infected or inflamed tissue (pulp) from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing them to prevent reinfection.
This procedure is recommended when decay, trauma, or deep cracks reach the pulp chamber, causing pain or risking tooth loss.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Consider treatment if you experience:
• Persistent tooth pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• A darkened or discoloured tooth
• Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
• A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums
• Deep decay visible on examination
These symptoms indicate nerve infection, which can spread if untreated
