Unknown: Your best bet is to discuss with his pedodontist, since the extractions can be done either way.

Extra teeth: The type of anesthesia is determined by the practitioner, so talk this over with whoever will be doing the extractions. However, BEFORE your child has any teeth removed have him examined by an Orthodontist (he's at least a year past due), to determine his overall dent-facial growth and development requirements.
