Root canal treatment — also called endodontic therapy — is a procedure to remove infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. Every tooth has a soft inner core called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When decay, a crack, or trauma allows bacteria to reach the pulp, it becomes infected, causing the intense, throbbing pain that most people describe as "the worst toothache of my life."
At One Touch Dental in Thika, we hear from many patients who have been putting up with this pain for days because they feared the root canal procedure itself. The reality is the opposite: it is the infection causing your pain, and the root canal treatment is what takes the pain away. The procedure is performed under strong local anaesthetic, so you feel nothing — only gentle pressure — while our dentist cleans out the infected tissue and seals the tooth.
Root canal treatment at One Touch Dental Thika costs KES 5,000 per tooth. This is a fraction of the cost of tooth extraction followed by a dental implant or bridge, and it keeps your natural tooth intact. Natural teeth are always preferable to replacements — they feel better, function better, and last longer.
Signs you may need a root canal: severe, persistent toothache; pain when biting or chewing; sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers; a darkened tooth; swollen or tender gums near the tooth; a pimple-like bump on the gum. If you are experiencing any of these in Thika or Kiambu County, contact us immediately — same-day appointments are available.
After root canal treatment, we recommend placing a dental crown over the treated tooth (KES 10,000 at One Touch Dental Thika). Back teeth in particular undergo heavy biting pressure and become brittle after pulp removal — a crown protects the investment of your root canal and ensures the tooth lasts for many years.
