No, but I had a tooth extraction a couple of weeks ago. I really didn't feel any pain after the injections, so please don't worry about that part of it.
I had a mild infection in the site, but couldn't have antibiotics, so spent an uncomfortable ten days with my compromised immune system battling the infection and healing the gum.
As always, I did everything I was told - rest then swilling with salt water etc and all is now fine.
Good luck - it will be fine x
