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.
Arrow Dental Centre stands out as the premier dental clinic in Nairobi for endodontics. With our skilled endodontists and commitment to excellence, you can trust us to deliver outstanding personalized root canal treatment, restoring your oral health and confidence.

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)
