tandkliniker

Tandkliniker are healthcare facilities dedicated to oral health where licensed dental professionals provide preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services for teeth, gums, and supporting structures. The term is used in several Scandinavian languages to describe private and publicly affiliated clinics alike.

Typical services include periodic check-ups, professional cleaning, radiographs, fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, extractions, implants, dentures, and, in some clinics, orthodontic work. Many clinics also offer cosmetic dentistry and limited minor surgical procedures.

Staffing usually includes dentists, dental hygienists, and dental nurses or assistants, with some clinics employing specialists such as endodontists, periodontists, or oral surgeons. Treatment planning is based on patient examinations, diagnostic tests, and informed consent, with emphasis on preventive care.

Facilities and safety measures center on infection control, sterilization, and the use of modern equipment such as digital imaging and dental chairs. Clinics maintain patient records, protect privacy, and follow national or regional regulations governing professional licensing and facility standards.

Funding and access vary by country; tandkliniker may operate privately, publicly, or as part of a mixed system. Fees depend on services rendered and insurance coverage or subsidies. Emergency care is typically available through clinics or associated hospital departments.
