Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Calcium metabolism : Start with your daughter's regular doctor. You may need to see an endocrinologist or a head & neck surgeon as well, depending on what examinations, blood tests and scans reveal.

Thank

Endocrinologist: I would agree with dr. Balogun. Calcium levels in the body are very tightly regulated. As a dentist, the calcified root part doesn't worry me as much. I would be more concerned about some other sort of systemic issue going on, especially if she has elevated calcium levels on her labwork/blood tests. I would start with either the family physician or an endocrinologist and go from there.
