Well it's not that it hurts, what you will feel is a pulling type sensation. It's weird but not painful. Make sure that if you do feel any pain you tell the dentist because that means you need more novocaine.
Also after you have your tooth pulled whatever you do DON'T DRINK OUT OF A STRAW!!! This could and usually does cause dry socket which is really painful. Follow all the directions your dentist gives you especially the one about swishing warm salty water in your mouth.

When they take the tooth out, it won't hurt at all, no matter how stuck it is. The only time that it might hurt, is about an hour after the procedure's done. The advice I can give you is just don't think about it when they're pulling the tooth. Find something else to think about, and let them do all the work. Before you'll know it, it will all be over, believe me. Good Luck!
