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.

I came in with horrible teeth and a gum disease that will eventually make all of my teeth come out. So the dentist jumped on it, got Medicaid to approve the fast track for me to get my teeth removed and pretty dentures in place in a fast time frame. Soon I will be able to smile again, have my confidence back as a woman and mother. I couldn’t be more grateful
They really are the nicest people! I had a great experience with them and I plan on going to them for all my dental needs!!
Super fast, super friendly staff. Didn't feel judged at how bad shape my teeth were, which I was embarrassed by. They made a plan to get me back on track. Thanks Salisbury Family Dentistry!
Very friendly office. I called to make an appointment due to tooth pain. They got me an appointment 2 days later. Got there feeling nervous and everyone I seen was very calming and nice. After dentist got in there it wasn't very good. But he gave me options and the expected cost of each option with my insurance. Then told me to go home and talk it over about which one I wanted and then call to make an appointment for whichever I pick. He did not push the most expensive procedure. I think I've found a hidden gem in this office.
