A member asked:

My dentist found what he called a pallet cyst when i had an x-ray. what is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cyst: Roof of Mouth: Your cyst is located on the roof of your mouth. The dentist (if capable) will treat the area or refer you to an oral surgeon for treatment. Often cysts can enlarge over time, so it is important to seek treatment.
