Dr. Zhang Liwen
Bone hyperplasia at the tooth root generally requires a visit to the dental department. When bone hyperplasia occurs at the tooth root, patients should seek treatment from a dentist in the dental department. It is recommended to first undergo imaging examinations to evaluate the condition of the oral cavity and receive treatment under medical guidance. Surgery is usually required to correct root-related bone hyperplasia. After surgery, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent infection.
