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.

Mr. Barton was and his assistant was awesome. After so many horrible experiences with Dentist’s, Mr. Barton and his assistant listened. I, the client, wasn’t in any pain during the procedure and therefore had an awesome experience with Dentist, Mr. Barton and his assistant. Thank you Salisbury Family Dentistry!
My experience with Salisbury Family Dentistry has always been the same for over five years that I have been going to them. From the check in desk, back to the treatment room and to the check out desk everyone has always been professional, courteous, caring and helpful.
Dr. D is a phenomenal, detail oriented dentist. The staff is genial. I had previously been under Dr. D’s care when he was at another office. Once he left to start his own practice, I had to find where he was located — he is the only dentist I trust to work on my teeth. He’s helped to repair damages from braces and keep me smiling radiantly. Run, don’t walk, to Radiant Smiles for affordable and thorough dental care.
The work Dr. C has done for me at SFD has been excellent! All of the staff at SFD have been amazing from Liz my dental assistant to Holly the Hygienist. Everyone you encounter here are very professional, polite and extremely easy going. I will continue to recommend this dentistry. I’ve never been more comfortable with my smile until I came to SFD!
I absolutely love this dentistry, it is clean the atmosphere is pleasant and everyone is so nice and helpful. I love the fact that they are gentle this is what concerned my husband because of the experience from a previous dental office. When he comes here, he has no anxiety.
