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.

Dr. Rhonda is so sweet and I felt comfortable with her. She cares about her patients’ mouth health. She is great! Everyone else was kind and friendly also. I love the layout and decs of the waiting area.
They were friendly and listened to my concerns. They also didn't make feel bad. The new patient process is unique though. I thought I would get a cleaning for my first appointment however they did x-rays and exam first. The cleaning appointment was scheduled for a later date. I am happy with the staff and the Dr. I saw. Thank you for helping feel at ease. I get anxious at the dentist.
November 22 - l just had my next dental cleaning & it was good as I've come to expect from SFD. I was in & out in a very short time. I barely got seated when they called my name. I've rarely had to wait, another reason they are such a super dental office. As always the people were great, I was in & out very fast. It was just a cleaning, between Covid & minor illness it was overdue. I had a horrible experience with a dentist years ago & I am always in a near panic whenever I see the dentist now. The staff has been so accommodating with me to ease my terror. I can actually breathe the whole time I'm in the chair. Personally I feel like they are the best dental office ever! I would give 10 🌟s if I could.
I always have a great experience
