FAQ
A mucocele is a harmless cyst that develops in the mouth when a salivary gland becomes blocked or damaged. It typically appears as a painless, fluid-filled bump and is most commonly found on the inner lips or floor of the mouth.
Mucoceles often develop as a result of trauma or injury to the oral tissues, which can lead to blockages in the salivary glands. Activities such as biting the lip or tongue, lip piercings, or repetitive irritation in the mouth can contribute to the formation of mucoceles.
While mucoceles are generally harmless, they can be bothersome or unsightly. In cases where a mucocele is causing discomfort, interfering with oral function, or if it continues to recur after conservative treatment, surgical removal may be recommended to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Mucocele removal surgery is typically a quick and straightforward procedure performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon will carefully excise the cyst and surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
