Cyst near gum
From last two days i am seeing a painless small cyst nearcone of my metallic crown teeth on the left lower jaw. The metallic crown tooth has been fixed since nearly 15 years and occassionaly hurts a lot when i chew hard stuff like nuts. But eventually pain reduces. Currently the tooth doesnt pain but the cyst has appeared. Also there is some uncomfortable stiff feeling in tooth as which goes till the left side of the neck. Can someone help me?
