Why Whitworth patients choose us for root canal treatment

Whitworth patients come to us from Facit, Hallfold and Shawforth for calm, unhurried dentistry. Our team is used to welcoming people from across the Rochdale and Rossendale border, including nervous patients who want a practice that will take things at their pace.

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.

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.

Do you see patients from Whitworth?

Yes. We welcome patients from all over Whitworth (OL12), including Whitworth, Facit, Hallfold, Shawforth. 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.
