Depends: If there is severe infection present, often the dentist/oral surgeon will not extract the tooth right at the first appointment due to the possibility of spreading the injection upon injecting novocaine. But being put to sleep or nitrous oxide or sedation dentistry may help. Modern dental techniques are vastly superior to the old days in terms of pain management.

It is up to you: Tooth extraction routinely done in the dentist's or oral surgeon's office. The appropriate anesthesia for your surgery is the key for success. It depends on the complexity of the tooth extraction(s) and your own comfort level. After the surgery you will receive instruction and medication for speedy recovery and healing. Rec.: choose an experience dentist or an oral surgeon.
