Root Canal Treatment in Kampala
Stop the pain — keep your natural tooth
Root Canal (Endodontic) Treatment at M Dental Care
Severe, throbbing toothache — especially at night or with hot drinks — usually means the nerve inside the tooth is infected. Left alone, the infection spreads and the tooth is eventually lost. A root canal removes the infected nerve, cleans the canals and seals the tooth, ending the pain while keeping your natural tooth.
At M Dental Care in Najjera–Kira, Kampala, root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthetic with modern rotary instruments. Keeping your own tooth is almost always better and cheaper than extracting it and replacing it later with an implant or bridge.
- Ends severe toothache at its source
- Keeps your natural tooth — no gap, no replacement needed
- Done under local anaesthetic — the procedure itself is painless
- Modern rotary instruments for thorough, efficient cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a root canal in Kampala?
Root canal treatment at M Dental Care costs UGX 400,000. A protective crown afterwards is quoted separately in your treatment plan.
Is a root canal painful?
No — the treatment is done under local anaesthetic. A root canal relieves pain; it does not cause it. Mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards is normal.
Root canal or extraction — which is better?
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always better. Extraction leaves a gap that shifts other teeth and costs more to replace properly later.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Usually one to two visits of about 60–120 minutes, depending on the tooth and the extent of infection.
