Zoledronic Acid (Reclast) can I have just one infusion?

I have not had my first infusion yet. I did go to my dentist first. She told me I have a hairline fracture in one tooth so it might be best to do a root canal prior to the infusion. Next, I called my dr and his PA called back and said it was ok to do with the infusion. But the PA is having my endocrinologist call me back to discuss it.

Yikes, I’m surprised they said it’s OK. I was told to have my teeth checked before the infusion and get any dental work done before hand. Jaw necrosis is a terrible thing!!!
Dentist said the same thing.

Did the dentist mention anything about the hairline fracture may cause the tooth to break during a root canal? That was my issue - the concern is if the tooth cracks they may need to pull it and that’s messing with the bone. I believe the biggest problem with dental work is when the jaw bone is involved. It is when the bone needs to repair itself that some of the infusions will block the ability for repair.
