Cysts and jaw tumours are rare growths that develop in the soft tissues or the jaw bone in the face and the mouth. It depends on their origin, size or complexity. Cysts and jaw tumours are sometimes called odontogenic or non-odontogenic.
Many of such growths are noncancerous. But many such non-cancerous tumours could expand with aggression. As a result, these will demolish the surrounding teeth, tissue or bone.

Treatment options for jaw tumours and cysts vary. It depends on the following factors:

Ameloblastoma
It is a non-cancerous tumour that formulates in the cells forming the teeth' safety enamel lining. Generally, it develops close to the molars in the jaw.
Central giant cell granuloma
Central giant cell granulomas are lesions growing from the cells of the bone. These generally occur on the lower jaw’s frontal part. One such tumour can grow fast and destroy the bone.
Such a tumour can come back after surgical treatment. The other type is less aggressive and does not carry symptoms.
Dentigerous cyst
This cyst originates from the tissue engulfing the tooth before its eruption in the mouth.
Odontogenic keratocyst
Such a tumour tends to recur after the surgical treatment. Even after the slow growth, such a cyst could destroy the jaw.
Odontogenic myxoma
It is a tumour of slow growth and generally occurs in the lower jaw. It can displace teeth. But such a tumour can enlarge and invade the jaw and the engulfing tissue.
Odontoma
This tumour is a common odontogenic tumour. Although there are no symptoms for such a tumour, there can be interference with the eruption and development of the tooth.
