Jaw Cyst Removal

At DentMax Dental Health Clinic, we prioritize maintaining excellent dental health and providing top-tier care for our patients. Jaw cysts, while often perceived as minor issues initially, can lead to significant health problems if left untreated. Statistics show that untreated dental and jaw cysts increase the risk of tooth loss by 30%. Our clinic is committed to offering comprehensive and reliable treatment for these conditions, ensuring your dental health is preserved.

What is a Jaw Cyst?

Jaw cysts are fluid- or semi-solid-filled sacs that typically form due to infections, trauma, or genetic factors. These cysts can develop in the tooth roots, gum tissue, or jawbone, causing pain, swelling, and potentially leading to tooth loss over time.

Types of Jaw Cysts

There are several types of jaw cysts, each with unique symptoms and treatment methods:

1. Periapical Cyst: Typically forms at the tooth root and is caused by an infection.
2. Dentigerous Cyst: Develops around impacted or partially erupted teeth.
3. Odontogenic Cyst: Forms during tooth development and is usually found in the jawbone.

Early diagnosis and treatment of these cysts are crucial to prevent serious health issues. If you experience any tooth or jaw pain, it is essential to consult a dentist immediately.

Symptoms of Jaw Cysts

Symptoms of jaw cysts can vary based on the size and location of the cyst. Common symptoms include:

• Persistent or intermittent toothache
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• Discomfort while chewing
• A white or yellowish mass in the mouth
• Shifting or loosening of teeth

If you notice any of these symptoms, you should contact a dentist as soon as possible.

Jaw Cyst Removal

Jaw cyst removal is a surgical procedure designed to completely remove the cyst and clean the affected area. This surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the cyst's size and location.

Stages of the Surgery

1. Diagnosis and Planning: The location and size of the cyst are determined through X-rays or other imaging methods.
2. Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is applied.
3. Surgical Intervention: The cyst is carefully removed, and the infected area is cleaned.
4. Stitches and Healing: The area is stitched, and the healing process begins.

Our expert dentists at DentMax meticulously perform jaw cyst removal. Following your doctor's post-operative care instructions is crucial for a quick and smooth recovery.
