Why Smithy Bridge patients choose us for root canal treatment
For Smithy Bridge, we are practically next door. Whether you live near Hollingworth Lake, on the newer estates or along Smithy Bridge Road, we are your closest friendly practice for check-ups, family dentistry and same-day help when something goes wrong.
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.

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.
