Root Canal in Greater Manchester

Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected through tooth decay or damaged by an injury to your mouth. This infection may spread through the root canal system and could eventually lead to an abscess, causing a great deal of discomfort. If root canal treatment is not carried out, the tooth may need to be taken out.

Root canal therapy involves the following:

First, local anaesthetic will be administered to ensure no discomfort is felt during treatment.
The tooth will be prepared with a drill, allowing access to the root canal system.
The root canal system will be thoroughly cleaned out to remove all infection and pulp.
The root canal system is then filled and sealed temporarily with a crown.
The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled.

Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure and most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits.

Patient Review

"Brilliant Dental Practice.

After not being enlisted in a dental practice for the past year or so i thought it would be best to find a new practice for a check up.

I rang altrincham dental practice and was able to be seen within a week which was great!

Ellie and her assistant who i had for my appointment were amazing.

The appointment was quick , thorough and they were both super kind and explained everything to me.

The staff in reception are also very helpful and welcoming.

I will only come to this dental practice from now on , fantastic to have found it.

Superb dental practice all round!"
