thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

for teeth extraction, the dentist will sedate you as required and will give you local anesthesia and i assure you that you will not be able to perceive any pain during the whole procedure....
well if you are anxious now, you can take a pill of alprazolam 0.25 at night before the procedure....it will cause no harm....
after the teeth extraction, the dentist will give you painkiller and other medicines...so dont worry....
just be calm and normal....
it is a very common procedure.....

hope this was helpful...
contact me for any further queries....

regards
I find this answer helpful
