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.

These people are amazing, I love the atmosphere they create, the staff is super friendly, they love what they do and they are the best at it.
Another enjoyable visit. My hygienist (Heather) is great. In fact the entire staff is very friendly and happy all while being very professional.
My first impression of Radiant Smiles as I entered the office was quite pleasant, there was a really nice aroma in the air, it was clean, neatly organized. The two ladies at the front counter were extremely nice also. My wait time was minimal… couldn’t believe it. Once in the back, I felt really comfortable, they have the tv on… it was a cooking show. The dental assistant comes in and introduces herself Hi Karen!!! Karen was extremely kind, very knowledgeable and made me feel to home. They all wore face masks. Then, my dentists walks in and guess what he did IMMEDIATELY!? He washed his hand as he greeted me. The “icing on the cake” for me was the fact that this dentistry has a facility of very diverse people. You don’t see this often. And even more impressive, my dentist is an African- American male. My only issue per-say is the dentists talks way to fast. I had to ask him to repeat sometimes. I’ll be going for my 2nd appointment shortly. TS Ft. Mill
My recent visit was just awesome! The hygienist Ms. Dash is the absolute best. Dash is currently studying to be a dentist. There is no doubt Dash will be a top rated dentist!!
