Tooth Extraction
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Pineville, we strive to protect your oral health. While the goal is always to save your natural teeth, there are times when that is not possible. If necessary to maintain your oral and overall health, teeth extractions may be recommended. For example, if a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected, it may be necessary to remove the tooth.
Our team performs many extractions in our Pineville office saving patients the need for specialist care. This includes wisdom teeth extractions. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of teeth that we get. Some people never get them. Some get two wisdom teeth; others get all four teeth. In rare cases, the teeth erupt without problems. Unfortunately, most often there is not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to come in which creates problems such as crowding or impacted wisdom teeth.
Reasons For Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Choosing wisdom tooth removal services is not a spur of the moment decision. It requires careful thought and consideration. For teenagers or young adults, extractions may be done preventatively. By removing the teeth early, problems such as pain, cyst formation, or impacted teeth never have a chance to start. X-rays help monitor wisdom teeth development.
The most common reasons for wisdom teeth extractions include:
- Small face or jaw size
- The teeth are impacted or may become impacted
- Damage to the adjacent teeth
- Potential for future dental problems
Signs Of A Problem
If the wisdom teeth begin to erupt, the most common sign of a problem is pain. A tooth that does not have the space to come in correctly is considered impacted. Without enough room, the adjacent teeth may become tilted, twisted, or displaced. This can also lead to tooth infections, swelling, and pain. Additional symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include:
- Bleeding and/or swollen gums
- Pain
- Swollen jaw
- Bad breath
- Headache
- Jaw pain
- Swollen lymph nodes
Impacted wisdom teeth should not be taken lightly. The teeth need to be extracted to prevent further damage to your oral health.

Reviews
I've been coming here for years. Ive never left a review until now. Hygienist was very kind and made the experience pleasant. Dr. Checked behind her work and seen no issues as her work was done thorough. I recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in the Salisbury area.
I love this place my 3 kids been coming here for years & still do. The Manager Sharon is awesome & the Employees are so nice & professional. Thank You all God bless you!
Appointment started on time. Thought I would need a root canal, but dentist recommended a filling. Was able to do the filling right away due to fewer other appointments booked for that day (Friday before Christmas weekend.) Filling looks and looks great!)
Nice to have a small neighborhood dental office nearby! Always friendly service.
It took me and my family a long time to find a dentist we really like. We absolutely love Radiant Smiles. The staff is so friendly, polite and everyone has such a great personality! The doctor is GREAT!!
I love the staff been coming to this location for years. But the Doctor in this office is by far the best. The staff is so kind and helpful. When I come in with my four kids they are helping me out making sure we are all taken care of. I don't plan on leaving this practice anytime soon thats for sure.
