Dental cysts can be caused by an infected tooth, dental injury, or trauma. Fast treatment is taken to remove them for a number of reasons:
The type of treatment patients will receive usually depends on the type of cyst they have. Usually, a dental surgeon removes an infected cyst. The area will also be cleaned. If an infection has penetrated the inner parts of a tooth then root canal treatment or a tooth extraction will be needed.
A dental cyst can return. If the infection does return, a number of complications can arise that affect the teeth and gums. The jawbone can also be affected by infection. This can lead to the development of osteomyelitis. The condition is a debilitating illness that can cause severe pain, with urgent hospital treatment often required.
