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.
