Did I make the right decisions for Osteoporosis & Bone Health?

I went to my dentist today because my crown felt loose. he took an x-ray and told me he was unable to help me because the tooth under my crown was fractured and he could not remove the crowd because I was on Reclast for osteopenia. He advised that I just leave my crown loose . He said if we remove the crowd I would get it a severe infection. I needed to see an oral surgeon. Does anyone understand the complications of using reclast and jawbone health?

Here’s a stupid question coming, @lcyphers - if the crown is loose, is there no risk for it becoming infected or falling out?

My endodontist was able to save a molar for me with a re-treatment of a previous root canal (the root was not fractured). But I seem to remember that there are other procedures that might help you. Perhaps see an endodontist for a consult/second opinion.

The problem with Reclast and some other OP drugs is that they can inhibit the blood supply and healing process of the jawbone after invasive dental procedures.

Best wishes!
