Hi, Some mucoceles spontaneously resolve on their own after a short time. Others are chronic and require surgical removal.
Several types of procedures are available for the surgical removal of mucoceles. These include laser and minimally-invasive techniques which means recovery times are reduced drastically.
A non-surgical option that may be effective for a small or newly identified mucocele is to rinse the mouth thoroughly with salt water (one tablespoon of salt per cup) four to six times a day for a few days.
Next Steps
Consult your dentist.
Health Tips
A small amount of alum should be applied on the mucocele for around 10 to 15 minutes and then, rinsed off using a good mouthwash.
Primrose oil can also be applied directly on to the cyst, in order to help it heal faster.
