“How is a dental cyst removed?”

A cyst is removed by an incision inside the mouth. The content of the cyst is extracted and clean. The surgeon makes the incision along the jawbone to reach the cyst and extract it from the jawbone. The procedure takes approximately an hour. In most cases, cysts form at the tip of the roots of a dead or dying tooth. The most common causes are improper growth of a tooth or the awkward position of the tooth in the mouth. Thank you.

Depending on the type of cyst, they can be drained or possibly accessed. If small and doesn't bother you, I would suggest leaving it alone.

A dental cyst is removed surgically usually in conjunction with an impacted tooth.
