Had my two impacted bottom teeth removed a few years ago under general anaesthetic. They were under my jaw bone so needed a bit of chiselling
Didn't feel a thing until the anaesthetic wore off and the I realised they plonker had stitched my gum to my cheek to cover the wound. That was
bloody agony when I yawned which I did often due to the anaesthetic... I ended up cutting the stitches myself with a scalpel. After that no major
problems.
Note I am sh1t scared of the dentist so I'm sure you will do fine.
Good luck,
Craig.

impacted are potentially a bigger problem - that is when the tooth decide to flip over onto it side 
ideally you want it all in one sitting with a general - you wake up and job done. your face swells up like a little hamster but that only last about
a couple of days. there not much pain.
without the local I seem to recall they inject some stuff to loosen the tooth,, get the pincers out, push pull and it is out quicket than you can read
this sentence.

Im expecting to need one out at some time. its growing towads other teeth. Ive got denplan insurance just in case to reduce the bill.
Cant be as bad as getting tonsils out! If i managed to get thro that the wisdoms must be a breeze. Hope it goes well for you.
I recall some root canal work a while back. No real pain as such - the anticipation of pain was worse as you mess with your own mind. All i remember
was bad jaw ache for a few days through keeping mouth open for so long.

I had a bottom one out last year and a top one last week, both under local. No bother from either, just relief that they were out especially the top
which had an infection in the nerve. No sleep for a week made me a very grumpy boy! didn't help that it was the week before sva and late nights
in the garage were essential as well. The only problem I have had since is getting food stuck in the hole where the tooth was!

If the roots are straight it isn't too bad (I've heard, got enough room for mine).
My mother had hers out and one (or more) of the roots was hooked under. The dentist gave up after wrestling with it (them?) for half an hour and sent
her to the hospital for them to finish the job by breaking them up. Not much fun at all apparently.
