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 had my initial consultation with Dr. Desameau a few months ago. He was very knowledgeable, kind and professional. His staff was also very friendly. Today I started the first phase of my dental work. I had a major accident and am in need of major dental rehabilitation. From the time I walked in this morning at 9am to now at 8pm…. I’m beyond impressed. My extractions were done painlessly and Dr. Desameau took the time to explain the next phase of my dental rehabilitation. I’m excited to see this dental transformation happen!!!! Now…. I have to talk about Shannon, the office manager. She greeted me with a smile at 9am and assisted Dr. Desameau through the entire process. I recently had surgery on my ankle from my accident and can’t walk on my foot (I use a walker)… she took care assisting me to the restroom half way through the procedure… she took great care to make sure I got there safely, waited for me to finish and walked with me back to my dental chair… such great care!!!! At the end of my appointment, she walked with me out to get in the car… carried my purse and all (since I had the walker) and sent me off with a smile. I got home and fell asleep…. I over slept and didn’t realize the pharmacy I asked them to send my prescriptions to closed early and would be closed throughout the weekend. When I called the emergency line at 8pm, it was Shannon who answered! Couldn’t believe she was still working. She went above and beyond to make sure my prescriptions were re-sent to a pharmacy that would be open throughout the weekend. I’m highly impressed by the way Shannon goes above and beyond for her patients…. I would give 10 stars if I could! Today, I was reassured that I picked the right place for my dental rehabilitation…. Thank you so much Shannon and Dr. Desameau!!!!!!!
