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. Barton was amazing. Super gentle with a pick. I wish I had gotten the name of the hygienist that assisted, she was amazing. They actually listened. No lectures. No shaming. Just caring and made it the best dental visit I ever had. They got me in quickly and didn’t add to my anxiety. I’ve never been so happy after a dental visit.
I usually have anxiety going to the dentist but this has been my best dental experience! From the moment you walk in you can tell everyone cares. I enjoyed the relaxing and upbeat environment, from the music to the cool scenic images in the lights which made my dental experience more enjoyable when I was getting my cleaning done. Dash is amazing, sweet and thorough I could tell she cares about making sure she does a job well done! She did a thorough oral assessment checking for any signs of malignancy or anything concerning which I appreciated. Doctor D is kind and friendly, he wants to take care of his patients like they are family. He educates his patients, he is honest and has integrity, you can tell this is his passion and calling. He is great at what he does and he also has an excellent team! Thank you Radiant Smiles for making my dental experience a great one! Sincerely, someone who use to hate going to the dentist.
I had a wonderful experience. Everyone made you feel very comfortable and the receptionist Michael was very informative. Thank you so much for a great experience. If in need of a dental family check out Salisbury Family Dentistry
I loved the friendly atmosphere from the moment I walked in the door. They explained everything that was going to go on in great detail. They made sure I was comfortable from the moment I walked in.
