About Jaw Cyst in Mumbai
A jaw cyst is a fluid-filled or semi-solid sac that develops within the jawbone, most commonly arising around the root of an unerupted or impacted tooth, or as a result of chronic infection at the root tip of a decayed tooth. Most jaw cysts grow slowly and painlessly, often going unnoticed until they are discovered incidentally on a routine dental X-ray or until they grow large enough to cause visible swelling or displace adjacent teeth. While the majority are benign, some types can be locally aggressive, eroding surrounding bone and requiring more extensive surgical management to prevent recurrence. Prompt diagnosis and treatment help preserve jawbone structure and adjacent teeth.
