alot of the time theywill have you bring the child about an hour early and give them chloral hydrate, a mild sedative, it starts to take effect and the child gets wobbly with shaky balance and may even go to sleep. Either way, nitrous oxide(laughing gas) is the way to go, the child is calm, slightly sleepy and then a local injection is given, often times, the child is completely unaware and the procedure is very easy on them. Is your child on antibiotics right now? Usually it is standard procedure if the child has an infected tooth, to put them on antibiotics for several days before hand. To help your child be mentally ok, keep him away from older kids who want to tell him alot of 'gory details.' You can help too by getting all the facts so that you are at ease, your child will sense this in you and feel okay too. Good luck, sometimes we learn to parent through situations just as you are! shelly

Yes, why do you ask though? i had two kids that had to have them pulled because they got bad from drinking to much Milk from a bottle at bed time when they were bottle feed ! Milk can mess up there teeth later on thats why they need to be off the bottle as early as possible ! So with my next child i made sure to get her off the bottle especially at bedtime so her teeth wouldn't be messed up later on!

Me and my sister both had to have all of our front teeth pulled when we were about 3 cuz they were so rotten. We both always had really bad teeth til we finally had them all pulled out. I was 15 when I had all of mine pulled out.
