Why Milnrow patients choose us for root canal treatment

Milnrow residents have an easy run to us past Hollingworth Lake, and the M62 at junction 21 makes us handy for anyone who commutes. We see people from across Milnrow, from Kiln Lane to Newhey Road, for everything from routine check-ups to implants and straightening.

Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels called the pulp. If decay, a crack or an injury lets bacteria reach it, the pulp can become inflamed or infected, causing throbbing pain, sensitivity or an abscess.

Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the tiny canals inside the root, and seals them. Our aim is always to protect and maintain your natural teeth, and a root filling is often the best way to do exactly that.

Getting here from Milnrow

The practice is around 3 miles from Milnrow, about eight minutes by car via Smithy Bridge. It is also a short hop from M62 junction 21.

Root Canal Treatment

Signs you might need a root filling

  • Lingering pain

    Toothache that throbs, wakes you up, or hangs around after hot or cold drinks.

  • Pain on biting

    A tooth that is tender when you chew or press on it.

  • Swelling or a gum boil

    A pimple on the gum, swelling or a bad taste can mean an abscess.

  • A darkening tooth

    A tooth that has turned grey or dark, often after an old knock.

What happens

Three calm steps

  1. Step 1: Numb and protect

    We make sure the tooth is completely numb and isolate it to keep it clean.

  2. Step 2: Clean the canals

    We remove the infected pulp, then clean and shape the canals inside the root.

  3. Step 3: Seal and restore

    We seal the canals and restore the tooth, often with a crown for long-term strength.

Root Canal Treatment: questions from Milnrow patients

How far is the practice from Milnrow?

The practice is around 3 miles from Milnrow, about eight minutes by car via Smithy Bridge. It is also a short hop from M62 junction 21. Our address is 115 Featherstall Road, Littleborough OL15 8JZ.

Do you see patients from Milnrow?

Yes. We welcome patients from all over Milnrow (OL16), including Milnrow village, Hollingworth Lake, M62 junction 21, Ellenroad. You do not need to live in Littleborough to see us.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

The treatment itself should feel much like a filling, because the tooth is fully numb. It is the infection that causes the pain, and root canal treatment is what takes it away. The tooth may feel tender for a few days afterwards.

How much does a root filling cost?

Root fillings cost £375 for a tooth with one canal, £475 for two canals and £595 for a molar.

Will I need a crown afterwards?

Back teeth that have had root canal treatment are more likely to crack, so we often recommend a crown to protect them. Your dentist will explain whether your tooth needs one.
