Many ways!: Cysts can be formed anywhere in your jaw and often times between your teeth. A cyst can be caused in any number of ways. Sometimes by a tooth that never formed, perhaps trauma or may be developmental, was the cyst always there? Is it getting bigger? So don't panic! speak with your dentist to discuss your specific situation.

Not unusual: Cysts are a sac like structure that is filled with fluids and can occur anywhere in the body. Some of the causes are generics, trauma, infection . Have you dentist do a complete evaluation of the area and discuss treatment options with you.

Cyst: Cysts are fluid filled encapsulated lesions. Origins are many and varied. Can be developmental or pathologic. Most are benign, but as they enlarge can cause damage. Aspiration biopsey followed by excision all biopsey usually required for definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Please see an Oral Surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
