Answers:

Lidocaine is the greatest thing to ever happen to dentistry. The doctor pulling the tooth will numb you up with injected lidocaine, and when pulling the tooth you won't feel anything at all.

After the extractions are done and the lido wears off, you might feel some soreness, but that's easy to take care of with some OTC analgesics (your dentist/oral surgeon will tell you which ones to take).

Whether or not it will hurt after the extraction depends on how good you follow the post-op instructions. If the blood clot falls out of the empty tooth socket, bare bone becomes exposed and that will hurt a lot-- This condition is called a "dry socket". Your dentist/oral surgeon will give you post-op instructions to prevent that.

Good luck.
