Dentigerous cyst (follicular):

It lies close to the crown of the wisdom tooth or is formed on it. Extraction of wisdom teeth is usually a preventive treatment that is recommended in these cases.

Periapical cyst:

These oral cysts are usually formed at the base of the tooth. Its cause is pulp infection or the death of the tooth nerve. A periapical cyst can be an abscess.

Mucous cyst or mucocele:

This type of cyst is usually formed in the soft cells of the mouth, inner surface of the cheek, lips and tongue. Usually, the cause is damage or irritation of the tissues in this area. If you have a mucocele cyst, you probably notice that it develops frequently and sometimes oozes saliva..

Odontogenic cysts:

Collection of dental cysts (In addition to periapical and dentigerous) are often identified in the jaw bone. These types of dental cysts rarely occur, but they often grow and enlarge because they are inside the bone and are more difficult to identify..

Complications of dental cysts

A dental cyst, if not treated, leads to the loss of a part of the jaw bone and sometimes may endanger health.. Even in very small cysts that do not cause symptoms, the cyst must be treated immediately, otherwise it can eventually lead to the following:

• Tooth infection
• Tooth loss
• Benign growths in the jaw
• jaw fracture
