Tooth extraction at a dentist in Oslo
Teeth should actually last a lifetime with good follow-up. Occasionally, unfortunately, a tooth has to be extracted. Tooth extraction is performed when everything has been tried to save the tooth, and our aim is always to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible.
Causes of tooth extraction
Teeth are meant to last a lifetime with proper care and follow-up. Unfortunately, in some cases it may be necessary to extract a tooth. Tooth extraction is considered when all other attempts to save the tooth have been tried. Sometimes a root canal can be the solution to preserve the tooth, but if this is not possible, tooth extraction becomes the last resort.
Causes of tooth extraction include severe infection that has damaged the tooth or surrounding bone, often caused by tooth decay, also known as cavities. Patients may also suffer from periodontitis, known as gum disease. In periodontitis, the teeth will gradually loosen over time due to weakening of the bone tissue around the tooth. Without tooth extraction in such cases, the affected tooth can damage neighboring teeth.
Panoramic X-ray
A panoramic X-ray , also known as panoramic radiography, is a two-dimensional image of your entire mouth. It captures the upper jaw, lower jaw, teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding structures. It gives a broad overview of your dental health and is useful for evaluating conditions such as impacted teeth, jaw bone abnormalities, cysts, tumors and general dental and bone health.
Wrong location
Inadequate dental care leads to misaligned teeth. Dental care considers certain teeth to be non-vital too
the patient's oral health and can recommend that they be removed. These teeth may be misaligned or
useless as they lack viable teeth to bite against.
Orthodontic treatment
When carrying out orthopedic treatment such as braces , there is often a need to pull one
tooth or more in order to fix the dental position and ensure that the bite is correct.
Radiation
Before starting radiation treatment of the head and neck, it is necessary to remove any teeth that
may be damaged by treatment. This helps prevent complications, such as infections.
Chemotherapy
Having an immune system weakened by chemotherapy increases the likelihood of dental infections and
probability of having to be extracted.
Organ transplantation
Some recipients of transplanted organs develop tooth infection thanks to the drugs the doctors
prescribed to fight the immune system. As a result, some teeth must be removed before receiving an organ transplant.

All teeth have a root canal that supplies the tooth's nerves and blood vessels. If bacteria enter
the root canal or the tooth is damaged in such a way that the blood supply to the tooth is compromised, must
the tooth is filled.
Sometimes a root canal is not enough to heal/free a tooth, and then it may be necessary
with surgery. The most common surgical treatment to be able to save a tooth is called a root canal
amputation. When the root tip is removed, cracks or extra canals may appear in the roots that do not
