If a tooth is diseased and cannot be treated, it may need to be extracted. This applies, for example, in cases of infection in the root, untreated cavities, or advanced gum disease. X-rays, anesthesia, and hygiene supplies are included. We want tooth extraction to be a last resort, and our recommendation is to try to preserve your natural teeth if they can be repaired. If the tooth can no longer be repaired, or if you do not wish to keep it, extraction is an option.

Simple tooth extraction includes:

  • Ekstra røntgenbilde ved behov
  • Extra X-ray if needed
  • Anesthesia
  • Simple removal of the tooth
  • Hygiene supplies

Sometimes a tooth must be removed to avoid infection and pain. Other times, a tooth may be extracted in connection with orthodontic treatment.

Before and after a tooth extraction, certain precautions must be taken: eat well before your appointment, and after the tooth has been removed, it is very important not to eat or drink for 2-3 hours. After the tooth is removed, swelling in the area is common, and some may experience pain and slight bleeding at the extraction site. You will receive bite compresses and pain relief tablets from us to stop any bleeding.

In some cases, a replacement may be desired after a tooth is removed. This could be, for example, an implant, a bridge, or a denture.

  • Ekstra røntgenbilde ved behov
  • Bedøvelse
  • Enkel fjerning av tannen
  • Hygieneartikler

Ofte stilte spørsmål

Do I have to have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Wisdom teeth need to be extracted if they erupt in the wrong position in the mouth and cause problems for other teeth. They should also be removed if you are experiencing pain, inflammation, or large cavities (caries). If you are having pain or issues with your wisdom teeth, we recommend booking an examination so that we can assess whether you should have one or more of your wisdom teeth removed.

What is a bridge?

If one or more teeth are missing, and you want to replace them, a dental bridge can be made. This involves creating replacements for the missing teeth, which are then attached to the remaining teeth on either side of the gap. The remaining healthy teeth must first be shaped/ground down by the dentist to provide a good foundation for the bridge.
