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 have never been to a dentist office or anywhere as a matter of fact, where everyone who works there is happy and enjoys their job. They are friendly and make you feel right at home - which is hard to do being at a dentist of all places! Shout out to Heather - she's a star - but everyone I met was just awesome.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Radiant Smiles! The staff was very welcoming and friendly from beginning to end! They were also extremely organized! The office was very clean and has nice decorum. The hygienist was very friendly/knowledgeable and made the visit very smooth! She also made sure I understand everything we were doing during the appointment! Morgan gave pleasant conversation and great information about the area! The doctor explained things in medical terminology but, also broke things down to be more understandable for those of us not familiar with the language. I can tell he and everyone genuinely care about giving patients THE BEST guest experience! Overall, it was a wonderful experience! I look forward to my next visit!
