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.

Dandy experience
I took my 17 year old to her first appointment and because of Covid I stayed in the car. So I asked my daughter if you had to describe your experience at this new dentist what would you say ? So she said young ,fresh, vivacious, modern and fun. I said wow it’s just a dentist ! She said yes mom but they were very nice and talked to me like a real person not like a kid . So we are giving them a 5 star and I found them very nice and professional on the phone , got us in quickly and I think we have found a great new dentist !!! Thank you Amy Sisung
Radiant Smiles treated me like Family. They have a Very Friendly staff. Ask for Tonia. They have the Best prices as well. I am Happy I chose them.
They're friendly, kind and respectful and just a wonderful team working together to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Thank you Salisbury Family Dentistry!!❤
My husband and I have been on the hunt to find a family dentist since moving to Charlotte. Radiant Smiles was the last stop on that search. The team was absolutely amazing. They were friendly even after all the questions I asked of them. At other offices I’ve felt rushed during my exam but Dash (dental hygienist) was very thorough and gave me tips about flossing (because let’s be real —it’s a task). Even down to dentist himself—Dr. Deseamu was very knowledgeable and took the time out to ask me if I personally had any concerns about the health of my teeth. If you’re looking for a dentist office to live up to the “family dentistry” name look no further. Radiant Smiles is your new home!
