These are bluish in color and consists of clear pale colored fluid. Eruption cyst may start appearing in the oral cavity from 3-4 days prior to the eruption of teeth. Surgical eruption cyst treatment intervention is needed only if it is causing an infection, pain, and discomfort or failure in an eruption of the tooth.

This is caused due to the accumulation of fluid in between the tooth and the gums. Once the tooth erupts it pierces and breaks the cyst. And in a few days, the gum will get back to normal.
