Yes cyst is harmful, it is slow growing and effects the surrounding bone and teeth . So needs to be treated . First go for rct and then if required depending on the size u need to go for apicectomy or enucleation . Advisable to get it treated.

Do undergo RCT or it wil keep expanding and harm adjacent teeth or may cause cheek swelling or intra or extra oral pus discharge.

A cyst is a collection of granulation tissue which collects at the bottom of the tooth due to pulp necrosis... in short it is a symptom/ clinical sign of an infection of the tooth... u need a root canal treatment if you dont want it to grow further or develop pus
