I am having my tooth taken out. does the injection hurt?

A little bit: There is certainly some minimal discomfort associated with any injection. This can be minimized by the dentist using a topical anesthetic in the area.

Not necessarily: If your dentist is skillful and caring he or she should be able to anesthetize your without pain.
