Information

What is retained tooth surgery?

Retained tooth surgery is a dental treatment that is used to remove teeth that have not emerged in the mouth. It may be necessary to remove an impacted tooth if it is causing pain, infection or other problems. The treatment is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, and we want to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

How do I know if I need retained tooth surgery?

If you have a tooth that has not emerged in your mouth and are experiencing pain, swelling or other symptoms, you may need retained tooth surgery. It is important to get a diagnosis from a dentist to determine if treatment is necessary.

How is retained tooth surgery performed?

Retained tooth surgery is usually performed by making a small incision in the gum and then removing the retained tooth. If the tooth is difficult to reach, we may need to break it into smaller pieces before removing it. After the tooth is removed, we will sew up the incision and give you instructions on how to care for the area while it heals.

What can I expect after retained tooth surgery?

After retained tooth surgery, you can expect some discomfort and swelling in the area around the tooth. This is normal and will subside within a few days. We will give you pain medication and instructions on how to care for the area while it heals. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to avoid infection or other complications. You should avoid eating solid food and hot drinks in the first days after the operation, and instead choose soft food and cool drinks.

You should also avoid smoking or using snuff, as this can delay the healing process and increase the risk of complications. You can expect to be called to a follow-up appointment to check that everything is going as it should and to remove the stitches after about a week. If you experience persistent pain or swelling, or if you notice signs of infection, you should contact us immediately. We will make sure to give you all the necessary follow-up and treatment to ensure a successful recovery after retained tooth surgery.

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.

Følg disse tipsene for å opprettholde en sunn munnhelse og et strålende smil!
