My daughter is worried about the dentist, could she be sedated?

Q.
my daughter had a recent check up and was told that she had a root coming through her gum from a old tooth, it was very visable the dentist asked if we would like it removed or wanted to have a go ourselves, shes 9 years old and i thought he was joking, i asked for it to be removed and waited three weeks for a appointment, my daughter has adhd and can get easly upset and frightened and as soon as she saw the needle she started crying, she was told okay your done with your crocodile tears you can go, i asked whats next they said nothing. I have looked at this root and she has broken some off, it is now going brown and she has already had an infection. I need to know where to go to have it out and can she be put to sleep.thanks

It sounds like it’s a baby tooth and may fall out on it’s own. If it doesn’t them your dentist will need to refer you to a hospital or specialist sedation clinic
