Hi....that's what I've been thinking about doing....to be honest, I'm not even sure it's absolutely necessary...I DID see the x-rays at my dentist's....it was darker underneath the implant, etc., and this is all part of a permanent bridge, includes 2 other teeth...there is no pain whatsoever and of course with getting older, I have a little 'gap' at the gum line, where it's receded a little bit. I've also thought about getting a 2nd opinion....just don't know what exactly to do. So many decisions lol! I have my Fosamax here.....enough for 3 months....12 pills. I haven't started on them yet....they just SIT. I'm even thinking about 'supplementation' instead....am taking what I should for my bones, except the right kind of calcium....I've been watching Dr. Doug Lucas's (a retired Orthopedic physician) videos on You Tube, they are all about Osteoporosis....the most beneficial supplements to take, the meds prescribed for it, the best exercises for women, the supplements NOT to take, etc., it's all very interesting & informative. I'm just kinda taking it slow here...if I DO decide to take the Fosamax, I'm going to break the tablets in half, at least for the first few months...or maybe even, not take it at all. You can only take it for so long, anyway...and this, and more meds for Osteo., may cause fractures in the future. This is all getting so confusing....the thing is, Drs. prescribe what they are taught to prescribe, and if they don't....and let's say someone fractures a bone (after they have had a not so great bone density test), they don't want to be sued...and could be. BUT...the Drs. don't usually know the truth about many meds....the side-effects, the dangers...but they prescribe, because they're 'supposed' to. LOL I've had a long day and am just going to think a bit more on this. We women should not have to go through the worry, of whether a med will help or hurt us...ugh!! There's men out there, worrying, also. Thank you so much...take care, stay safe, and also, stay as healthy as you can. I appreciate your advice....it's good. < 3
