Jaw Cyst Treatment in Kolkata
The jawbone, like any other bone in the body, can develop abnormal sacs filled with fluid or semisolid material. These are known as jaw cysts or jaw tumours. These abnormal growths can vary in size and complexity and impact dental health and facial structure. While not always cancerous, jaw cysts (or jaw tumour) can grow large and cause pain, swelling, discomfort, and damage to nearby teeth and bone, which require timely treatment.
For advanced diagnosis, schedule an appointment with Smile and Profile, the most reputable and trusted jaw cyst treatment clinic in Kolkata.
