Why Todmorden patients choose us for root canal treatment
Todmorden is just over the county line, but in reality we are its nearest neighbour to the south. Many Todmorden patients find it quicker to come down the valley to Littleborough than to travel elsewhere, especially when they need a same-day appointment.
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.

Three calm steps

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

Step 3: Seal and restore
We seal the canals and restore the tooth, often with a crown for long-term strength.

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.
