Are dental abscess treatments painful to get?

No : Usually you'll feel better once the infection (abscess) has been treated.

Dental abscess: If treated with antibiotics first, the actual treatment, root canal or extraction, should be able to be done relatively painlessly.

Not usually: Usually once the shots have numbed the entire area of concern, patients do not feel any pain. Some dentist may offer IV sedation for your comfort.
