Please help me, im terrified..

Ok... Im currently in Greece now and have been lucky to have found a Dutch dentist here to do work on me, but im not even sure about that, as on Friday i woke up in absolute pain to my bottom jaw, it was so bad that i was crying... I ran to this dentist and he told me then and there that i needed 2 root canals and 1 abstraction.. I let him get on with his work, but even after 7 jabs, yes 7 i could feel him picking away.. I told him this and he got the nurse to hold my hands down whilst he took a funny shaped needle and injected inside my cavity... I hit the wall in pain, i cant describe it, im just a small built lady and it hurt way too much.. Next he stared to clean it up, and it didnt hurt then as he placed the the dead nerve into my palm... He then started to work on the tooth next door, it also needed root canal, but i refused him to continue... He filled it up with a substance im not sure what and put temp filling on both.. He then started to work on my top back tooth, injecting it 3 times and cranking around, it did not hurt this one and hey presto it was out and finnished... Now its Sunday night, ive got to go back to my dutch dentist tommorrow to continue my 2 root canals and may i add he gave me antibiotics Augmentin... Will it hurt again... Why coukd he numb the bottom 2 root canal teeth.. Im so scared, please let me not feel it again...

I did find out something from the Dentist which was very interesting to me.
just about every 5 years root canal needs to be redone.
The best way is to have the tooth extracted so this way there is no tooth, no nerve and no root. That is why I decided to get the extraction because after trying to num a few weeks ago and no such luck that is when he told me.  
I did forget to meantion that there are 2 other options for me.
1. I can get a local anesthic where I am not sleeping but I would be kind of out it in a daze and would not know what is going on and would not remember anything.
2. Then there is I can be put under asleep and everything can be done.
however I have had two surgeries and I have no luck with anesthia at all.
The first I was getting sinus surgery done it took them 20 minutes to get me under and then towards the end of I woke up.
The second time it took them 45 minutes to get under and I woke up in the middle they were not able to put be back under again because they are not allowed however they did have to localize it.

Oh here is the USA certain states only allow a certain amount of shots.
Here in NY we are allowed 6

This is my email address you can communicate with me with it as well.

Hi thank you for your reply.
Even with the dentist I use to use she had a hard time numing me but she got the job done but I have been using her since I was teen and when I was child her father was my dentist. I do not smoke THANK GOD but this is getting to be to much now.
I am going to see my old Dentist on Tuesday and see what she says if for some reason she does get me num after a few shots then I know it was all in my head meaning because I have used for so long I have gained alot of trust and confidence in her that to me she will not do anything to hurt me or mess up in anyway.
She did how ever years ago take 3 wisdome teeth out. I went in only knowing I was going to get one out but after it was all done she told me was it bad I said no I just felt the pressure on the tooth. And she said I have news for you I extracted 3 of you wisdom.
I did not believe her until she showed me.

Well I will keep you posted when I see her on Tuesday.
I wish the very best for you as well with your new Dentist and that all works out for you.
