Oral and Maxillofacial Tumor and Cyst Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial tumor and cyst surgery involves diagnosing and treating lesions that develop in the mouth, jaws, gums, and facial tissues. Cysts may originate from teeth or develop within the jawbones, while tumors can be benign or malignant. Treatment may include surgical removal and tissue analysis through a biopsy.

Which specialist treats oral and jaw tumors and cysts?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is one of the specialists qualified to assess and treat these lesions. Depending on their location and characteristics, oral pathologists, oncologists, or head and neck surgeons may also be involved.

When should I seek care for an oral cyst or tumor?

Seek an evaluation if you notice a persistent lump in the mouth or jaw, unexplained swelling, pain, unexplained tooth mobility, or a lesion that does not heal. Some lesions cause no symptoms, so professional assessment and imaging may be important for diagnosis.
