General Dentistry
General dentistry is the everyday dental care that helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, whether you’re a child, teenager, or adult.
General Dentistry at Tandea
General dentistry includes everything from routine dental check-ups to preventive treatments such as professional cleanings and fillings. By visiting your dentist regularly, we can detect and treat problems at an early stage, reducing the risk of more extensive treatment in the future.
At Tandea, you can feel confident that you’re in good hands. We provide comprehensive dental care to help you maintain a healthy smile, whether you need a routine examination or more advanced treatment. We care for children, teenagers, and adults, tailoring every treatment plan to each patient’s individual needs.
General Dentistry Treatments
General dentistry includes a wide range of treatments designed to maintain and improve your oral health.
Common general dentistry treatments include:
- Dental Check-up – Regular examinations help detect and prevent problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health conditions.
- Dental X-rays – Used to identify hidden issues affecting the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
- Dental Hygiene – Professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains. Fluoride treatments may also be provided to strengthen tooth enamel.
- Dental Fillings – Treatment of cavities using durable filling materials such as composite resin.
- Root Canal Treatment – Treats infections inside the tooth to save it and avoid extraction.
- Tartar Removal – Regular scaling helps prevent gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
- Tooth Extraction – If a tooth is too damaged to be restored, it may need to be removed.
- Gum Disease Treatment – Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis to maintain healthy gums.
- Crowns and Dental Prosthetics – Includes custom-made crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore missing or damaged teeth.
- Emergency Dental Care – Prompt treatment for toothache, dental infections, broken teeth, and other urgent dental problems.
General dentistry also includes personalized advice on oral hygiene, nutrition, and the best ways to care for your teeth to help prevent dental problems and maintain long-term oral health.
What Is Not Included in General Dentistry?
General dentistry does not include certain advanced dental procedures. If you require treatment that involves more complex care or specialist expertise, you may need to be referred to a dental specialist. Examples of treatments that typically require specialist care include:
- Complex Root Canal Treatment – These procedures often require an endodontic specialist, particularly when the root canals are difficult to access or the infection is more advanced.
- Advanced Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontitis) – Severe cases of gum disease may need to be treated by a periodontist, a specialist in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
- Dental Implants and Advanced Oral Surgery – The placement of dental implants and complex surgical procedures, such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, are often performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
- Orthodontic Treatment – Braces, clear aligners, and other treatments to correct misaligned teeth or bite problems are typically provided by an orthodontist.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders – Chronic jaw pain or problems affecting the jaw joint may require assessment and treatment by a dentist or specialist with expertise in temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
These more advanced treatments often require a referral from your general dentist to a specialist for further assessment and treatment.
General Dentistry for Children and Teenagers
At Tandea, we strive to make every dental visit a positive and reassuring experience for children and teenagers. In Sweden, dental care is free of charge up to and including the year a child turns 19, making it easy to maintain good oral health throughout childhood and adolescence through regular check-ups and preventive care.
We provide a full range of dental services for children and teenagers, including routine examinations, professional cleanings, and orthodontic treatment when needed. We also offer practical advice on brushing, diet, and daily oral hygiene to help establish healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Prices and Dental Care Subsidies
We understand that dental treatment can sometimes be a significant expense, which is why Sweden’s national dental care subsidy helps cover part of the cost. At Tandea, we provide clear information about our pricing and explain how you can make the most of the available dental care benefits.
The dental care subsidy can help reduce the cost of both routine examinations and more advanced treatments. Our team is happy to explain how the system works and what financial support you may be eligible for, so you can receive the care you need with confidence.
We also offer interest-free payment plans for up to 24 months through a dental finance account, allowing you to spread the cost of your treatment over time instead of paying the full amount upfront.
Borrowing costs money!
If you are unable to repay your debt on time, you may receive a payment default notice, which can make it more difficult to rent a home, sign service agreements, or obtain future credit.
For free debt and budget counselling, contact your local municipality. More information is available at:
