Anyone here have a child that needed to get teeth extracted? My 5 yr old son needs to have his 2 front teeth taken out and i am so nervous. He does not do good with pain. What is the procedure?

My son just got 3 teeth removed because he has 12 baby teeth in the way of his expander. He is 9 and they just gave him laughing gas. Days after the extraction he was in good spirits and did not feel any pain whatsoever. Your baby should be in good hands 
Are they taking him to get it done surgically or in office? My 3 year old just had to get his teeth fixed and they knocked him out at the hospital for it. He did great and was a little groggy and on soft food for a couple days but other than that he was good. Kids bounce back so much faster than adults!
My son had to get a baby molar removed due to the roots causing damage to his adult tooth.
They removed his tooth in theatre at my request cause I knew my son wouldn’t sit in the chair to have it removed as well as the fact he is petrified of needles.
All 3 of my kids have had teeth removed. My middle had 5 at one time. My 12 year old just had 4 because her jaw is too small. They were put to sleep. My 2 younger ones were put to sleep with a mask. Mt okder with an IV. It took no longer than an hour and they were waking them up. They were a bit loopy after but needed no pain meds. I had tylenol and advil ready but nothing. I kept asking them and they said no. Kids are so resilient they bounce back so quick.
My daughter did and we went to a pediatric dentist that does sedation. Made everything much better. And she doesn’t remember any of it
