On Friday I have an appointment with an oral surgeon at my local hospital to have 3 wisdom teeth out and a lower molar with a failed root canal.

I know it’s not an exact science, but how many injections on average would be used for this? I’m not scared of the injections per se, more the unknown of it. I’m terrified about the appointment as a whole, that I’ll feel pain etc in it and that the dentist will just ignore any pain - I don’t know why I’m worried, I just am, but I know it’s got to be done - it’s been 2 years since I was told the teeth needed to come out so I can’t put it off any longer now.
 
2 for each upper tooth, 2 for each side on the lower jaw.
the dentist will just ignore any pain
They blooming well better not. This is the 21st Century. If they hurt you then tell them to stop and sort it ASAP.
