Cyst and Tumor Removal (Minor Oral Surgery)
Cyst and tumor removal is a minor oral surgical procedure performed to eliminate abnormal growths in the oral cavity, jawbone, or surrounding soft tissues. These growths may develop due to impacted teeth, infections, developmental issues, or other underlying conditions. If left untreated, cysts and tumors can enlarge over time, leading to pain, swelling, bone damage, and displacement of nearby teeth.
Diagnosis involves a thorough clinical examination and dental imaging to determine the size, location, and nature of the lesion. Most cysts and benign tumors can be safely removed through minor oral surgery, with care taken to preserve surrounding teeth, nerves, and bone structure.
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Treatment is carefully planned based on the patient’s age, oral health, and specific condition. Post-surgical follow-up is important to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
