Visit a dentist for bone overgrowth on the tooth root, and receive appropriate treatment such as tartar removal and cleaning. Patients should develop good oral hygiene habits in daily life. Consuming more calcium-rich foods such as milk, dairy products, dried shrimp, kelp, sesame paste, and soy products is beneficial for calcium supplementation. Surgical treatment can be performed at the hospital's oral and maxillofacial surgery department. Surgical procedures can also reshape the overgrown bone, eliminate indentations caused by bone overgrowth, and ensure proper denture placement.
