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
First let me start off by saying how amazing Dr. D truly is! I had never had any type of surgery or anything before getting my wisdom teeth taken out, so I was definitely nervous. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process, provided me with a TV to watch while I got my teeth taken out and was so friendly and fast! Secondly, the ladies of the office staff are great! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Its been 4 days since I got my teeth taken out and there is pretty much no pain, which is great. I do not mind making the trip to my new dentist! 😁
As a new patient, the nurse greeted me by name and help me alone the way. Dr. Barton was excellent during my dental visit. I would recommend this dentist office to all my friends and family.
They are very clean and serious about their craft, while still having a great environment for the people that come. Dash showed me a show that I have never seen before!!
Very clean. The gentleman who took my info and made my appointment was very pleasant and helpful. I had a very bad experience years ago at a dental office and everyone here was reassuring and patient. Carlie and Dr. Barton were super nice.
Excellent treatment and advice
They are awesome! They definitely care about your teeth, but they care about the person as well. And seems like they are not there just as a job they really care about the people they take care of.
Salisbury Family Dentistry rocks.
