A cyst under a molar is concerning as one can only make a definitive diagnosis by removing it and having an oral pathologist examine the tissue to arrive at a specific diagnosis. Most cysts are benign, but will in time enlarge to such an extent that damage to the structural integrity of the jaw takes place, damage to adjacent teeth, or extension outside the bone. There are certainly lesions in bone that may appear to be a cyst, but are actually tumors. Discomfort is not the issue with lesions such as this. See an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for appropriate imaging and specific recommendations.

Extraction of third molar teeth should always be considered in a very patient specific manner. Although a patient may not have any "issues," there may be reasons to consider surgery as well as retaining such teeth. There are absolute indications for surgery, relative indications for surgery, and contraindications in both categories (absolute and relative) as well. This type of question cannot be answered without having seen the patient for examination, review of appropriate X-rays, and review of pertinent medical history at a minimum. See an oral and maxillofacial surgeon!
