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.

From my call to make an appointment,my appointment reminders to the very nice dental assistant,everyone at the facility was very professional and pleasant!
SO GLAD I found Radiant Smiles!! Was looking for a new dentist. Saw nothing but excellent reviews and decided to give them a try. SO GLAD I DID! Everyone was so NICE! Heather did my teeth and she was EXCELLENT! She explained to me that I have been brushing my teeth wrong my entire life! BLEW my mind! She also asked after she was done for me to run my tongue over my teeth to see if she missed anything. No hygienist in my ENTIRE LIFE has asked me that. Just above and beyond! The head Dr. also came in to say hello and took a peek and shared info with me about my teeth. So knowledgeable!! Just a lovely office, full of lovely people! This will be my NEW family dentist office! Two thumbs WAY UP! 👍🏾👍🏾
