I thought I replied to this last night, but I guess I did not send it.
I have to have a root canal and I was sent to an endodontist. He explained that the pulpy area of my tooth was blocked by all these calcium deposits. So I also read that this could happen if you have several different conditions, and two of which I may have, I’ve already had one parathyroid removed because of parathyroid disease and that is an increased risk of doing this to a tooth. I also have elevated uric acid levels which can increase the calcifications. But elevated uric acid levels are also seen in dish patients.
So that’s what made me think about it, but I can’t find anything much published other than a support group that has mentioned that it can affect your teeth. Just thought I would ask.🙏
