Eruption cysts are benign, fluid-filled lesions occurring over erupting teeth and typically resolve spontaneously as the tooth breaks through the mucosa. No active treatment is recommended because these cysts are self-limiting and do not usually cause pain or complications. Intervention is only warranted if the cyst becomes infected or significantly delays tooth eruption. Surgical excision or aspiration is rarely necessary and reserved for symptomatic cases. Routine antibiotic therapy is not indicated unless secondary infection occurs. Observation ensures natural resolution without unnecessary procedures in children.
