Islington Dental Clinic in North York offers root canal treatment, which is often needed when a tooth's root is infected or decayed. The nerve of the tooth is removed to avoid the tooth from being extracted. To return the tooth to its original function, dental material and medicine are inserted in place of the nerve, along with a filling.
Since the nerve was removed, the tooth becomes fragile over time, and a dental crown may be inserted to prevent the tooth from being extracted.
