🔬 What is a Radicular Cyst?

A radicular cyst (periapical cyst) is the most common inflammatory odontogenic cyst associated with a non-vital tooth. It develops due to chronic infection at the tooth root apex and gradually expands, causing bone loss and swelling in the jaw.

📢 Why Early Detection is Crucial

Radicular cysts often grow silently. Delaying treatment may lead to:
✔ Bone loss
✔ Facial asymmetry
✔ Tooth loss
✔ Compromised esthetics

If your child has swelling, pus discharge, or loose teeth—visit your dentist early to prevent complications.
