Plain-English summary
A young Boxer was brought to the vet with swelling in both sides of its mouth. After some treatment, the vet suspected the dog had dentigerous cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that can form around teeth. Surgery was done to drain the cysts and remove the affected teeth. The diagnosis was confirmed through examination of the tissue taken during surgery.

Abstract
Cysts in the dental cavities of dogs are rare. This report documents the case of a young boxer that was referred after having had treatment for bilateral oral swellings. Dentigerous cysts were tentatively diagnosed. Surgery was performed to aspirate the fluid and remove the first premolars, which were positioned in the cysts. Histopathological examination of tissue collected during the surgical procedure confirmed the diagnosis.
