Mucocele can occur anywhere in the oral mucosa, including the lip, cheeks, and floor of the mouth. It can be treated by a number of approaches. These include excision by scalpel, electrosurgery, laser ablation and intralesional corticosteroid injections. With advancements in pediatric dentistry, especially when treating young children, it is critical to plan treatment that gives the minimum amount of discomfort. Electrocautery can be the treatment of choice for mucocele as it can alleviate the patient's anxiety and discomfort.
