More families are coming forward following a lawsuit against a Syracuse dental clinic.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- When she started taking her three daughters to Small Smiles, one Syracuse mom, who only wanted to be identified as Tameeka, said she liked the service there.

"I thought the facility was beautiful, they were friendly, the nurses were kind to my kids," Tameeka said.

That is until her middle daughter, Secret, went in and was told she had to have teeth pulled.

"I'm thinking she's just getting like two of her teeth pulled out. But when the nurse came back out and talked to me, the dentist told her they had to pull all of her teeth out and they had to restrain her," Tameeka said.

"They had to strap me down. It was frightening and tight. I couldn't move my arms or anything," Secret said.

A lawsuit against Small Smiles filed this week by ten other Syracuse families shares similar stories of extractions, even root canals and crowns, with kids as young as one tied down with no parents allowed.

"I asked 'Can my mom come back here?' and they said no," said Tameeka's oldest daughter, Antonyah.

"The kids are afraid. I heard plenty of kids screaming, coming out crying. I said, what's going on back there that the parents can't be allowed back there?" Tameeka said.

Tameeka said she had put her trust in the doctors and nurses at Small Smiles. But then she says she decided to trust her instinct and stopped taking her girls there.

"My kids are terrified. No kids should be terrified to go to the dentist," she said.

Small Smiles and its parent company have been the subject of many state and federal investigations and lawsuits. The families who contacted us say they felt like they were the only ones having the feelings and experiences they had.

"I have some kind of relief. But I really want justice to be done because they're hurting various kids out here," Tameeka said.

The complaints against Small Smiles range from 2005 to 2008. The parent company, Church Street Health Management, did not return our calls for comment.
