Oral cysts are cavities covered with tissue and can appear in the jaw or the soft tissue (for example in the cheeks). Oral cysts occur because of a constant infection, which occurs on the top of the root. The teeth become infected most frequently due to poor oral hygiene or not treating cavities on time. Recently, genetic heritage has also been mentioned regarding oral cysts, along with other various hereditary syndromes.

It is very important to emphasize that the patient feels the first symptoms when the cyst is already in the acute condition and the pain begins. The symptoms of oral cysts are:

– Changes in the color of the tooth
– A large cavity which has not been treated
– A bump on the bone (jaw) above the tooth
– Fistula
– Pain, swelling, redness around the tooth

If one of the stated changes was diagnosed, it is necessary to remove the change as soon as possible, so it does not grow and spread to the neighboring teeth. Without treatment, the tooth structure could weaken, damage healthy teeth, spread to the sinuses and nose and cause great infections on the face.
Cystectomy is performed with local anesthesia, that means the procedure is completely painless for the patient. During the procedure, the oral surgeon completely removes the cyst, shortens the top of the root, and closes the root canal. If the cyst has
spread to a larger part of the root, then it is necessary to remove the tooth and remove the cyst. Stitches are removed a week after the procedure.
