Dental cysts are slowly developing deviations in oral and periodontal tissues. They can vary in severity and most are filling with a fluid. Some are completely benign and can be managed by your own immune system, while other might be linked to a more serious oral health problem.
Early symptoms typically involve a swelling at the gumline, irritation near a distressed tooth, or a discolored area in your gums. In a situation like this, you should schedule an appointment at Dr. [doctor_name]’s clinic. In a brief amount of time [heshe] can assess the nature and severity of the dental cyst and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
Sometimes the fluid within a dental cyst is completely sterile. In many of these cases, your body’s own immune system will gradually absorb them. If necessary Dr. [doctor_name] might provide you with a prescription for antibiotics or another applicable medication to help speed your healing.
Some dental cysts can become infected or traumatize the surrounding soft tissues. The course of treatment Dr. [doctor_name] recommends will be based on the dental cyst’s location, size, and potential infection.
Treatment of an infected dental cyst might require surgical intervention. In most of these cases, Dr. [doctor_name] can excise the dental cyst in a single outpatient appointment. Dr. [doctor_name] might also prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, or pain medication, to help knock out any lingering infection while helping you remain comfortable.
