I thought they had morphine back then, maybe they didn't give him enough.

Perhaps the dentist was thinking about lunch and started working before the drugs had time to kick in all the way. The "painless" dentists used ether back then, I seem to recall. Crank that stuff up and the tooth pull would still hurt, but you wouldn't care much. I don't know if they used injection drugs.
