Are tooth extractions painful?

I'm going in for a tooth extraction after Christmas and I'm worried about it being painful?

Are tooth extractions a painful thing to go through?

Years ago I had a tooth extraction when I was a kid and I thought it was gonna hurt like heck.

Turns out it was really nothing and just felt some pressure. You can get put under with anesthesia if you want for an extra cost but there really is not much pain at all with a tooth extraction.

There will naturally be some bleeding after the tooth extraction but nothing to worry about.
