Sedation: If you need a tooth removed sedation is an option. If your dentist does not do sedation you would be referred to another dentist or oral surgeon who can do this for you. Talk to your dentist and your parents about all of your concerns. Good luck.

That depends: It may an option given to you and can be discussed with your legal guardians/parents. That is if you need teeth pulled. Usually local anesthesia is done, but at a slightly higher cost, and if with no contraindications, you may be able to get "nitrous oxide" or similar agent to "put you to sleep.".
