Clinics and Programs
The Department of Dentistry is a multidisciplinary clinic located on the 4th floor of the hospital, as well as programs that are integrated both within its clinics and across other clinical areas such as our Emergency Department.
The Department functions in association with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto and several medical programs within Sinai Health. It is the primary site for the Graduate Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and maintains an active Hospital Dental Residency Program for GP dentists.

Endodontic Surgery
Endodontics is commonly known as "root canal treatment". It is the brand of dentistry that focuses on the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the dental pulp and the issues surrounding the rooth of a tooth. At Mount Sinai, we provide endodontic care for patients when their medical, physical or mental status indicates the need for treatment in a hospital environment.
