Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, Extraction of the tooth is done only when the local anesthesia is achieved successfully. The area is blocked completely, so there is no question of pain, the extraction area will be numb for about 2 to 3 hours post anesthesia. Yes once the block is relieved you may experience pain after 3 to 4 hours post extraction, but use for analgesics like morphine will subside the pain. So do not worry at all, just follow the instructions give by your dentist. Post extraction it is important to maintain the extraction wound as per the dentists instructions to prevent any infection .take care.
