What Type of Doctors Treat Cleidocranial Dysplasia?
A team of doctors cares for a patient with cleidocranial dysplasia. It's good to have a primary care physician to treat general health concerns while working with the medical experts on the care team.
A dentist and orthodontist care for teeth, including those needing a root canal. An orthopedist cares for skeletal problems and any broken bones. If skull or face surgery is necessary, a craniofacial surgeon may be on the team. Other specialists may include an ENT doctor and an endocrinologist.
