I was diagnosed with an oral cyst. How painful is oral cyst surgery?

Removing a dental cyst with surgery is almost never painful as the area is locally numbed or the patient is asleep during the operation. In more extreme cases, teeth may need to be pulled during the cyst removal, so there may be pressure and some pain involved if it is deemed necessary during treatment.
Depends on location and size but usually causes very little post op pain
