Can it hurt getting my tooth pulled out even with the numbing shot?

Usually not: You will feel pressure but not pain if adequately anesthetized.

Yes, but: Yes, but usually you can have additional local anesthesia if indicated. Sometimes you'll still feel pressure. Some teeth cannot be numbed. In that case, your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon so you can have an IV sedation.
