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.

I love coming here! I always feel so comfortable!
Love this establishment! I have anxiety when it comes to dental visits but my experience here has changed my perspective on dental health. My first visit was amazing. The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. When I went back to get a wisdom tooth removed, Morgan was the greatest support system I’ve had during any medical procedure. Dr. Desameau was kind and compassionate at each visit. He exceeding my expectations. I’m actually looking forward to visiting the dentist now, which speaks volumes to the staff and care given here. Special thanks to Morgan, she deserves her flowers. Thank you Radiant Smiles. I’ll be back soon!
My kids have been coming to RS for some years now, my wife and I had our first appointments today, and they did not disappoint! Terry (or Terri) hands down did most thorough cleaning I have EVER had, the office staff was courteous, professional, and discreet. A great experience and a new customer locked in!!!!
I love this office! Dr. D and his staff are phenomenal and so nice. He came in and gave me my options and actually listened. They are tucked away in Pineville but definitely worth the visit!
OMG! The ABSOLUTE BEST experience I have EVER had in a dental office. The office staff are delightful and welcoming. Tanya and Morgan are the absolute sweetest. No judgement only positivity. Everyone took their time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I have never felt so calm and reassured. The topping was meeting Dr. D! So sweet and gentle. They took such great care of me. Wish I had found them sooner. I am a patient for life!
