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 was in a lot of pain due to my wisdom tooth that was infected. Salisbury Family Dentistry got me in the next day. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. C was very professional and nice. She was unable to remove the tooth since it is impacted. She made a referral and prescribed antibiotics and pain medication to get me by until I see the oral surgeon. I will be coming back to Salisbury Family Dentistry.
Awesome. I've never had such a good time at the dentist. It was a chipped tooth. She repaired my tooth and had me laughing. Extremely professional staff, I felt really comfortable there.
Thanks so much for the great cleaning and thoughtful consideration of my sensitive teeth!
Dr. D and his staff impressed again!!!! The front office staff is amazing and addressed me by name as soon as I walked in the door(only my second visit) and keep me updated about my wait(i was almost an hour early). Then Dr. D and Tanya knocked out my filling so fast, I think we spent more time chatting about no dental related matters than the actual filling took. Give them a shot and you won't regret it!
I recommend Radiant Smiles to everyone. Dr. D really takes the extra step to make you comfortable. Tonya and Dash are very experienced And made my visit very enjoyable and easy!
