Can I eliminate the dot after Theorem in amsthm?

Question

Instead of 1 Theorem. I want to write 1 Theorem in front of the first theorem and analogously in front of succeeding theorems. How can I get rid of the dot?

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\swapnumbers
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
\end{theorem}
\end{document}

replace the \xpatchcmd{\proof}{\@addpunct{.}}{\@addpunct{:}}{}{} by \xpatchcmd{\theorem}{\@addpunct{.}}{\@addpunct{}}{}{} should do the trick — Romain Picot, Sep 22 '15 at 15:25
@Romain Picot My question here does not duplicate the question I asked earlier, so please unmark it as a possible duplicate. Harish Kumar's answer here is quite to the point and I accepted it. — Frode Alfson Bjørdal, Sep 22 '15 at 15:37

Now patch @thm like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\swapnumbers
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd{\@thm}{\thm@headpunct{.}}{\thm@headpunct{}}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
\end{theorem}
\end{document}
