Cysts that develop in the mouth and jaw area can lead to serious health problems over time. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore important. Cyst surgeries are surgical procedures in dentistry that enable safe and effective removal of cysts. Below you will find everything you need to know about the cyst operation process and aftercare.
Cysts are fluid- or semi-solid-filled sacs that can form in the oral and jaw regions. Although often benign, when they enlarge they can press on surrounding tissues causing pain and discomfort. Untreated cysts also carry a risk of infection and can damage tooth roots, jaw bones or other oral structures.
Cyst surgery may be indicated in the following situations:
Periapical (root) cysts: Cysts that form around tooth roots and can damage adjacent tissues.
Jaw cysts: Cysts within the jaw bone that may grow and cause pain or deformity.
Infected cysts: Cysts that are inflamed or secondarily infected.
Enlarging cysts: Lesions that increase in size and exert pressure on nearby structures.
Undetermined masses: Lesions of uncertain nature that require surgical removal for diagnosis and treatment.
Examination & imaging: The first step is a clinical exam and imaging (X-ray, CBCT, etc.) to determine the cyst’s location, size and type.
Treatment planning: Based on the cyst type and position, the dentist/ surgeon prepares a tailored treatment plan aimed at complete removal while protecting adjacent tissues.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is given for pain control. In some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used.
Surgical removal: The surgeon removes the cyst and, if necessary, any adjacent infected tissue. Modern surgical techniques are used to minimize trauma to surrounding structures.
Sutures & hemostasis: After removal, the site is sutured and bleeding is controlled. Post-operative care instructions are provided.
To speed healing and reduce infection risk after cyst surgery:
Pain control: Use prescribed pain relievers and apply cold packs as needed.
Diet: Avoid hot foods and drinks for the first few days; prefer soft, cool foods.
Oral hygiene: Avoid vigorous rinsing during the first 24 hours; brush gently and avoid disturbing the surgical site.
Suture care: Follow instructions if sutures were placed and attend the appointment for stitch removal.
Infection signs: Contact your dentist promptly if you have fever, excessive pain or swelling, or other signs of infection.
Reduces health risks: Surgical removal minimizes risks of infection and further complications.
Relieves pain and discomfort: Eliminates the pressure and symptoms caused by the cyst.
Preserves oral structures: Surgery is planned to remove the lesion while protecting surrounding tissues.
Promotes faster recovery: Modern techniques support a smoother healing process.
Cyst surgery is an effective and safe treatment to protect oral and jaw health. If you suspect a cyst or notice an unusual swelling in your mouth, contact your dentist for evaluation and treatment.
