Root Canal Therapy

Tooth decay also known as dental caries is a common oral problem that affects many people. If left untreated, it can progress to the innermost layer of the tooth, known as the pulp. When the pulp becomes infected due to the deep decay, trauma or cracks, it can lead to excruciating pain and discomfort which might potentially necessitate tooth extraction. This condition is known as a root canal infection or pulpitis, and it can have severe consequences for your oral and overall health.

Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy is a common endodontic procedure that can save a severely decayed or damaged tooth. The procedure involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth and sealing it with a filling material. This treatment effectively relieves pain, prevents further infection, and allows you to keep your natural tooth, preserving your bite and smile.

What Causes Pulp Infection

The pulp is the soft tissue inside your tooth which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.  It can become infected or inflamed due to progress decay or trauma which can cause pain, sensitivity, and even swelling. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the surrounding bone and teeth, leading to further complications to your oral health.

Causes of Pulp Infection

  • Deep cavities that allow bacteria to infect the pulp
  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Dental trauma/injury (blow to the tooth)
  • Repeated dental procedures that weaken the pulp

Signs you May Need Root Canal

  • Excruciating pain, especially when biting or chewing.
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold beverages or food
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
  • A dark discoloration of the tooth.
  • A persistent bad taste in your mouth.

What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy:

  • Local anesthesia will be applied to the affected tooth and surrounding area.

After the Procedure:

  • The dentist may put a permanent restoration such as a crown over the tooth to protect it.
  • Preserving the natural tooth with a root canal is often preferred over removing it.
  • However, there are some cases when tooth extraction is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly asked questions about endodontics in Kenya.
Q: Why should I consider root canal therapy?
Root canal treatment becomes essential when the tooth nerve becomes infected. If the infection is not treatable or reversible, a root canal will be needed to remove the inflamed part to prevent the infection from spreading.
Q: Should I worry about infection after the procedure?

Endodontists recommend patients monitor for any recurrent tooth infections. Some of the signs of infection include:

  • Visible swelling outside or inside the mouth
  • Severe pressure or pain that lasts several days
  • Original symptoms returning
Q: Is root canal treatment painful?
No. You might feel some discomfort during the procedure. However, the treatment helps to relieve pain by getting rid of the infected tissue that is often painful.
Q: How long does the procedure take?
Root canal treatment typically can be done in one visit to the dental clinic and does not take more than two hours. If your tooth problem is severe, you might need to visit the dentist at least two times.
Q: How much does a root canal cost in Kenya?
The cost of root canals is always a top concern for most patients. It depends on the complexity of the procedure. At Arrow Dental Centre, we provide affordable endodontic procedures to help alleviate our patients’ dental problems.
Q: Should I get a root canal or extraction?
Some people might wonder whether they should get an extraction and dental implant or root canal treatment. Only the dentist can know if a root canal procedure is necessary based on the severity of the infected tooth.
Q: Will I feel discomfort after the endodontic procedure?
You may feel some mild discomfort when biting. This can last for several days after treatment. Root canal specialists might recommend painkillers to reduce the discomfort.
Q: What should I expect after a root canal?
After the root canal treatment procedure, you might feel some tenderness around the area where the root canal was. We recommend you wait to eat until the numbing is gone, avoid biting on the tooth until a crown is fitter, and continue brushing your teeth as normal.
