Dental cysts and tumors can be potentially dangerous conditions that can cause serious problems with oral and dental health. Here is the basic information about it:

What is a dental cyst?
A dental cyst is a fluid-filled sac that occurs around the teeth or at the root. These sacs can occur as a result of inflammation or infection of the tissues around the tooth.
One of the most common types of dental cysts is the periapical cyst. This cyst occurs as a result of inflammation of the tissues around the root of the tooth.
Dental cysts can cause symptoms such as swelling inside the mouth, pain, swelling of the gums and tooth loss. If not diagnosed and treated, they can lead to complications.

What Are Tooth Tumors?
Dental tumors represent abnormal growth in the cells of the teeth and surrounding tissues. These growths can be benign (benign) or malignant (malignant).
Benign dental tumors usually appear and tend to grow during the development of teeth, but most are not cancerous.
Malignant dental tumors involve the growth of cancer cells and can spread throughout the body if left untreated.

Diagnosis and Treatment:
Oral examination, X-ray images, or other imaging modalities may be used by a dentist or oral surgeon to diagnose a dental cyst or tumor.
Dental tumors are usually diagnosed with diagnostic tests such as x-rays and biopsy. Treatment may include surgical removal, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or other treatment modalities, depending on the type and spread of the tumor.
Treatment can vary depending on the severity and type of condition. Benign dental tumors are often surgically removed, but malignant tumors may require more aggressive treatment.
Early intervention for a dental cyst or tumor may lead to a better prognosis. Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist for any oral or dental issue.
