@kay44 Yikes! That sounds awful. I knew it was a problem but this sounds way more extreme than I realized. I guess it's a problem I did not want to have to think about in detail as I had more immediate worries such as my bones thinning at a rapid rate. But once you solve that issue with a drug you're faced with these kind of issues like what the heck do you do when dental problems arise. The general advice is take care of your teeth before starting antiresorptives and of course that's good advice but for many of us doing everything we can to take care of our teeth doesn't completely stop cavities or having teeth that need to be pulled. I don't see a great solution here. Maybe we could explore this in more detail in a discussion devoted to this topic?
