Preventive and family dentistry is dental care that helps prevent dental problems and maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing daily. At Northtown Dental, we believe that taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.

As your family grows, Dr. Catherine Tallerico and her team will be there for you, to recommend the best dental treatment options for your dental needs. What sets Northtown Dental apart is the personalized care that we provide to our patients. We truly give you a reason to smile!

From a broken tooth to an unexplained pain, a dental emergency can happen anywhere, at any time. Like any emergency, it is important to stay calm and assess the situation. You should call us at 416-221-6621 right away for immediate care and attention; we will do our best to see you right away.

Teeth are “tough” on the outside, but inside they have a soft core made up of nerve tissue and blood vessels. Serious infection of the nerve tissue caused by tooth decay or trauma to the tooth, are the most common causes of a tooth needing root canal treatment. A root canal simply involves the removal of the injured nerve tissue from the centre of the tooth to allow it to remain pain free in your mouth.

Root canal treatment saves a tooth that would otherwise be lost. After root canal treatment, a filling and crown is placed over the tooth to restore it to its natural shape and appearance, protecting it from fracture.

ViziLite® Plus with TBlue® is the leading oral cancer screening system that helps Dr. Catherine Tallerico identify, evaluate, monitor and mark abnormal oral lesions suspicious for pathology including precancerous cells and cancer that may be difficult to see during a regular visual exam.

Vizilite is a quick and easy -to-use system that incorporates seamlessly into your existing hygiene visit as an oral cancer screening examination. Ask us for more details.

Dr. Tallerico and staff are great. They are very professional but also very warm and caring. Dr. Tallerico is incredibly patient and thorough, taking the time to ensure everything is done right. I've been with her for a little over 4 years now. It's a pleasure to come to a dentist that tells you exactly what needs to be done. Dr. Tallerico's dental knowledge and workmanship is on point. Thank you and keep up the great work.
