You may be referring to what is called torus (plural: Tori). These boney growths are a result of physical stresses on the jaw. These stresses may be a result of growth patterns, poor occlusion, or nocturnal grinding or clenching. As you stated on the discussion page, they can be removed by surgery.

Is calcium deposit in the brain by the glands Are they cancerous?
If calcium is deposited in the brain it is not by glands but a result of inflammation. It would not be cancerous because it is not a result of malignant cells metastasizing; which is how cancer is defined.
What is inside calcium carbonate?
CaCO3 + H2CO3(aq) -> CaCO3 + H2CO3(aq) There is nothing to drive any sort of reaction at conditions near STP. At elevated temperatures such as would be found in a cement kiln, the calcium carbonate would decompose to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide while the carbonic acid would have long since evaporated to give water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What element would you expect to behave the most like calcium?
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
If calcium oxide can be present by heating calcium metal in oxygen How much calcium would be needed to make 15.0 g of calcium oxide?
If reaction is 100% completed then 16g Calcium produces 22.4g Calcium oxide.
Why isn't magnesium hydroxide used as an antacid opposed to calcium hydroxide?
Magnesium, although having the same valence electron configuration as calcium, is toxic to humans at lower levels. Humans can handle having more ionic calcium in their system than they can ionic magnesium, so calcium salts are more commonly used as antacids. However, I don't believe calcium hydroxide is what is used as an antacid in humans - hydroxides are strong bases and I would think this would be very caustic and could cause chemical burns to the digestive tract. I believe the actual antacide is calcium carbonate. However, the above paragraph about why magnesium versus calcium is still true for a carbonate salt.
Can you contract kidney stones through saliva?
Kidney stones are caused by a buildup of calcium in the kidneys, and therefore I cannot see how saliva would cause it.
Do you have to have surgery on a calcium deposit?
Calcium deposits do not always require surgery for removal. The need for surgery would depend on the size of the calcium deposit. Drugs can be ingested to help dissolve the calcium deposit in the body, without any invasive operations.

What systemic deficiencies cause teeth to break?
Calcium is necessary for maintaining the strength of teeth and bones, so a deficiency in calcium would be a primary cause of breakage of either. Vitamin D is also needed for absorption of calcium.

When making Calcium Nitrate fertilizer from nitric acid and calcium carbonate what would cause the final Nitrogen content to vary?
its a philosophical conundrum
What would cause white chalky deposits to come out of all of your faucets and is it harmful?
Lime buildup in your water lines. No, it wont hurt you.
