๐ฆท MUCOCELE REMOVED IN JUST 3 MINUTES! | A 10-YEAR-OLD CHILDโS DENTAL CASE
A mucocele is a small, fluid-filled swelling that commonly develops inside the mouth, especially on the inner surface of the lips. It usually occurs when a minor salivary gland duct gets damaged or blocked, causing saliva to accumulate beneath the oral tissue. It may appear as a soft, rounded, bluish or pinkish lump.
In this case, a 10-year-old child presented with a noticeable mucocele inside the lower lip. Under the care of Dr. Girish H. Khandelwal at St. Mother Teresa Dental & Cosmetic Clinic, the lesion was treated, with the procedure taking just 3 minutes in this particular case.
โ
Is a mucocele a serious problem?
Most mucoceles are benign (non-cancerous) and are generally not dangerous. However, they may cause discomfort, interfere with eating or speaking, or repeatedly burst and reappear. Therefore, a persistent or recurring swelling should be examined by a qualified dentist. The dentist can confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
๐ฉบ Why is timely dental care important?
Early evaluation helps identify the cause of the swelling and determine whether treatment is needed. Treatment time varies depending on the size, location and nature of the lesion. Although this procedure took only 3 minutes, not every mucocele can be treated in the same amount of time.
