Root Canal Treatment at Bury Dental Practice
At the heart of every tooth is a chamber holding its nerve and blood supply, which extends down into the roots: the root canals. Trauma or infection can inflame this area, causing severe, long-lasting pain and sometimes swelling.
Root canal treatment (RCT) carefully cleans out the infection, shapes and disinfects the canals and seals them, so the tooth can stay in your mouth for years to come. Our dentists use modern rotary equipment and have completed countless successful root canal treatments.
Most patients are anxious beforehand, usually because of a scare story from someone who knows someone. Afterwards they tell us it was far more straightforward than they expected, and they are delighted to keep their tooth.

Root Canal Treatment: your questions
Anything else? Call us on 0161 764 4960 and we will gladly help.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs are severe pain from a tooth that lasts for long periods, pain when biting, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling near the tooth. An examination and X-ray will confirm it.
Is root canal treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed before we start, and most patients find the treatment straightforward. The aim is to take away the pain the infection was causing.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
A root filling is £375 for one canal, £475 for two canals and £595 for a molar.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Back teeth in particular are often protected with a crown after root canal treatment, as it helps prevent the tooth from cracking. We will advise you on what is best for your tooth.
