How did teen child tolerate having teeth removed ?

How many?: How many teeth are you talking about? Sometimes kids need to have a few teeth removed in order for the others to be aligned properly with braces (if there is too much crowding). Generally, it is a simple procedure (my son tolerated it well).

Depends: Every teen child reacts differently when in a dental office. Some children undergo extractions only with a local anesthetic, some with oral sedation and local anestheisa, some with nitrous oxide (laughing gas and a local anesthetic) and some require a general anesthetic.

Depends: Every teenager is different. However most are compliant and listen to the doctor. If non compliant, then laughing gas or sedation can be considered.
