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
This was my first time trying Radiant Smiles after a referral from a close friend and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The front desk associates were extremely nice, knowledgeable, and had amazing customer service. My dentist was a pleasure and allowed for me to ask questions while providing some techniques to incrementally improve on my dental hygiene. The entire staff adhered to COVID procedures and felt extremely safe while onsite. Thanks for the emphasis on a great experience! Will definitely be making this my permanent dentistry office.
I had the best experience here today with Dr Barton and Mary. They were very friendly and did their best to make me comfortable. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone.
I admired the professionalism and personal touch that the office created for me as a new customer. Everyone I interacted with especially Holly was very friendly and made me feel like they wanted to earn my business.
My experience during my visit at Salisbury Family Dentistry was great. Dr. Robert Barton was very knowledgeable of the problem I actually thought I was having with my teeth. However, Dr. Barton allowed me to see, via. X-Ray, that my sinus was affecting the gum area where the tooth was lodged. He allowed me to see that I did not have a tooth problem. The pain was due to infected sinuses. Dr. Barton, Thank You Mrs. Cynthia Johnson
