As a dentist, I'm seeing more patients with periapical cysts from untreated infections. What are the best ways to explain their formation and treatment to patients?

Interesting! I explain it like this: Bacteria, often from untreated cavities, are like mini villains invading Poptropica, your tooth's island. They cause inflammation near the root, forming a cyst, a little balloon of infection. Treatment involves root canal therapy to eliminate the villains or, in severe cases, extraction. Early intervention, like in the game, prevents further damage! Good oral hygiene is key.
