Answers:
Tooth extraction can be performed with local anesthesia if the tooth is exposed and appears to be easily removable in one piece. The dentist or oral surgeon uses an instrument called an elevator to luxate, or loosen, the tooth; widen the space in the underlying bone; and break the tiny elastic fibers that attach the tooth to the bone. Once the tooth is dislocated from the bone, it can be lifted and removed with forceps.
If the extraction is likely to be difficult, a general dentist may refer the patient to an oral surgeon. Oral surgeons are specialists who are trained to administer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), an intravenous sedative, or a general anesthetic to relieve pain. Extracting an impacted tooth or a tooth with curved roots typically requires cutting through gum tissue to expose the tooth. It may also require removing portions of bone to free the tooth. Some teeth must be cut and removed in sections. The extraction site may or may not require one or more stitches (sutures) to close the incision.
If the dentist does a good job performing with anesthesia, there will be alot pushing and pressure but there shouldn't be any pain. Some discomfort, bleeding and swelling should be expected in the next 24 hours as your mouth heals. The pain should last for 2 days.

when i was younger i had a couple of teeth pulled out. The Dentist gave me Novocaine so it didn't really hurt but i could still feel little pinches. But after wards you will be uncomfortable with the numbness and the tingle as the Novocaine wares off.
