What Is a Dental Cyst?

A dental cyst is a fluid-filled sac that often develops as a result of infection, trauma, or an impacted tooth. It grows within the bone and can cause damage to surrounding tissues over time. In many cases, it remains asymptomatic and is detected during radiographic imaging.

What Are the Symptoms of a Dental Cyst?

While dental cysts may remain silent for a long time, they can eventually cause:

• Swelling in the mouth or jaw

• Dull or sharp pain

• Pus discharge or inflammation

• Tooth mobility

• Shifting of neighboring teeth

How Is a Dental Cyst Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is made through panoramic X-rays or 3D dental tomography. The size, location, and impact on nearby tissues are evaluated to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

How Is a Dental Cyst Treated?

Treatment depends on the cyst’s size and location. Small cysts are usually removed under local anesthesia (cystectomy). In some cases, root-end surgery (apicoectomy) may be needed. Large cysts may be treated by marsupialization, where part of the cyst wall is opened to allow gradual healing.

Is Dental Cyst Treatment Painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so no pain is felt during treatment. Mild discomfort or swelling may occur afterward, which is managed with prescribed medication.

What Happens If a Dental Cyst Is Not Treated?

Untreated cysts may grow, weaken the jawbone, lead to tooth loss, invade sinus cavities, or – in rare cases – transform into more serious lesions. Early intervention is crucial.
