windyshores,
That what my dentist said, also. She was very reassuring about dental work and Evenity and Reclast. She said that if I needed a tooth pulled (unlikely) during treatment I would take a break from the drug until tooth issue resolved.
This has actually happened to my friend who is on Reclast. She seems to be managing this problem well.

But how do you take a break if you had a yearly infusion? Do you have to wait a year? If the tooth breaks/has root issues, it can't wait. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I have delayed my Reclast as I am having tooth issues and the endodontist wants me to wait until May. That seems like a long time to put off treatment. But I am also very leery of any side effects as I have many allergies and a history of bad reactions to food/medications/immunizations/products and my current Dr does not offer low dose infusions or those with smaller doses more often.
Any suggestions?

I had a gum abscess and I still have sensitivity in that area and my endodontist recommended a gum graft . I am on Evenity. I talked to to the Evenity hotline number and of course it was given back to talk to my MD. Has anyone had any gum issues while on Evenity ?
