Tooth extraction really hurt?

Question

Two days ago I had a tooth extraction (upper right back tooth).

I didn't dream it would hurt so much.

I'm not a 'sook' by all means but the dentist gave me 2 injections beforehand which didn't numb my mouth.

Straight after the injections he started pulling & twisting then said to his nurse "I think I'll need the pliers".

My question is "Surely these days patients should only feel minimal pain or no pain at all".

No treatment at all was offered prior to the extraction.
