It will be lesser painful than the pain you must be suffering now . Treatment will be done under local anaesthesia so you won’t feel much pain .
After the treatment for couple of days you May feel slight pain on that side that too while chewing .

No it is not painful. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. You might feel little discomfort but no pain.
After the root canal is done, you may or may not have very slight pain which can be managed by painkiller.
