More details to this question:
I took my daughter to the dentist yesterday for the first time (shes 5 by the way) And of course she was crying and really nervous. During her procedure I wasnt allowed to stay in the room with her other than the dentist and his assistant. On our way home she told me the denist pinched her to stop her from crying! I couldnt believe what I was hearing.. I called the office manager right away and told her everything but she didnt say much. Is there anything else I can do? Or the step I need to take. Thanks

You can complain to the state board that licenses dentists.
I do not think that you have a financially viable medical malpractice case. Medical malpractice cases are very costly and time consuming for lawyers to pursue, and in most circumstances attorneys will not take them on unless a patient suffered a significant permanent injury that causes substantial disability as a result of the medical mistake.
