Yes usually lidocine
Local anesthesia is routine in dental procedures. In case of minors or people with psychiatric disorders, they also give sedation.
Yes, and it's safe and good for post-op pain.
Typically yes. Almost all dentists utilize a local anesthetic like lidocaine to numb the area around the tooth that will be extracted.
Hope this helps.
