If a tooth cyst develops then it may or may not require immediate dental assistance. However, it is always advisable to get the opinion of a dentist as soon as possible to determine whether treatment is needed, especially if you have had the symptoms for more than two weeks. A dental cyst is usually caused due to the body’s reaction to another condition. A cyst can also be a sign that there is another underlying problem such as dental decay or if the tooth has suffered a trauma. We would always advise booking an emergency appointment to get checked out.
Cysts can form in the soft tissues of the mouth, as well as in the jawbone or the tooth. Here are some things to look out for:
Sometimes a cyst will correct itself, however, this is not always the case and it is not worth the risk. If the cyst becomes painful or irritating then a dentist may need to treat it. The treatment will usually involve a dentist using a needle to drain the fluid away from the cyst. Alternatively, it may be necessary to surgically remove it instead. Especially if it has been drained previously and has returned.
