Information

Why do I need an OPG?

An OPG provides a comprehensive overview of your teeth and can help diagnose dental problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. This type of X-ray can also reveal problems with your jawbone and sinuses that can affect your dental health. Our team of experienced dentists will use the results of the OPG to develop an effective and customized treatment plan for you.

How does OPG work?

During an OPG treatment, you will be asked to place your head in a special machine that takes a panoramic image of your teeth. It is completely painless and usually only takes a few minutes to complete. After the picture is taken, our dentists will analyze it and use it to diagnose any dental problems you may have.

Is OPG safe?

Yes, OPG is a safe and reliable way to diagnose dental problems. The x-rays used are very low dose and our modern OPG machine is designed to minimize your exposure. Our team of experienced dentists will ensure that you are comfortable and well looked after throughout the process.

When should you have an OPG X-ray?

We recommend that you take an OPG X-ray once a year to detect any problems early and avoid major treatments in the future. In addition, we can recommend an OPG X-ray if you experience toothache, have lost a tooth or have problems with your gums. OPG X-rays can also be useful for planning dental treatments such as dental implants or braces.

Tannhelse Tips

Børst tennene riktig: Børst tennene grundig to ganger om dagen i minst to minutter hver gang. Bruk en fluorholdig tannkrem for å styrke tannemaljen.
Rengjør mellom tennene: Bruk tanntråd eller mellomromsbørster daglig for å fjerne plakk og matrester som børsten ikke når.
Besøk tannlegen regelmessig: Gå til tannlegen minst to ganger i året for rutinemessige sjekk-ups og profesjonell tannrensing.
Spis en sunn kosthold: Reduser inntaket av sukkerholdige matvarer og drikkevarer som kan føre til tannråte. Spis mer frukt, grønnsaker og kalsiumrik mat for å opprettholde sterke tenner.
Unngå tobakksprodukter: Røyking og snusing kan forårsake tannproblemer og tannkjøttsykdom. Prøv å slutte eller redusere bruken av disse produkter for bedre tannhelse.
Beskytt tennene under aktiviteter: Bruk en tannbeskytter under idrettsaktiviteter eller når du utfører aktiviteter med risiko for tannskader.
Ta vare på tannproteser: Hvis du har proteser, sørg for å rengjøre dem regelmessig og oppbevare dem på en trygg måte for å unngå skade og infeksjon.
