Actually happened to me once; drilling, not extracting, but bad enough. No novacaine, because the tooth he was supposed to be drilling had had a root canal. I screamed, “It’s not safe!”
This kind of thing happened in the movie “The Pink Panther Strikes Again”. Inspector Clousaeu goes to a Bavarian castle disguised as a German dentist after his former boss, Dreyfuss, who is now a raving lunatic thanks to Clouseau and has a death ray machine, comes down with a toothache, and Clouseau proceeds to pull the wrong tooth.

If I keep pulling, I’ll eventually get the right one!

Well, it was a wisdom tooth. They like to pull them just because they’re there.

Professions you never want to hear an “oops!” from: Doctor, dentist, construction worker, veterinarian, and an electrician.

This happened to me too. At least it was a back tooth and not a front one, but still.
