A 13-year-old girlcame with a painless left facial swelling with the chief complaint of difficulty in breathing from the left side of the nose since two weeks.She had visited many dental clinics earlier, where she had been given antibiotic treatment for the facial swelling, but the swelling did notsubside. The parents came with the child to our oral & maxillofacial surgeryunit. After additional imaging, the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst was made. After surgicalintervention, the cyst was surgically removed.
