Hi Teresa,

I love the way you come into conversions with your wisdom! These bits of knowledge can make such a difference in the lives of others and I want you to know it's appreciated. I'm not dealing with dentures, I'm dealing with a husband who needs 18 teeth repaired (they can do them with fillings) and one crown. Work we'll have done over the next couple of months while he's on Forteo and before he gets on Reclast. I don't want to be dealing with dental issues at that point. My theory is it's best to get it dealt with now. (He's resisted the dentist for years is the reason for his tooth issues - some have broken down due to chewing tobacco.) Anyway, the thought had gone through my mind about dentures or partials and this info would have been useful. Like when you suggest they don't just suffer through the pain when minor adjustments can be made. So thank you!

Isabelle

Thank you for your kind words, Isabelle! I am sorry to hear about your husband's dental problems as well as osteoporosis. That is a difficult situation for sure.

You mentioned that he wants to get his dental work accomplished prior to starting Reclast. I'm just wondering how long he has been treated for osteoporosis. My dad had osteoporosis as well (as do I), and I understand that it is a less common disorder with men, but many still do get it. Is there a history of osteoporosis in his family?
