Has anyone with Osteoporosis had resorpsion of teeth?

I lost a tooth due to resorption recently and my dentist told me that the cause of resorption is not known. I was afraid it was related to osteoporosis and that I might lose more teeth. She told me not to worry about it because it is not related.

I empathize and am in a similar boat. Did you wait until it was bothering you or you felt symptoms? Or did you proactively extract it?
Years ago lost a tooth due to resorption and had an implant put in . then another one last June and a root canal done hopefully that tooth will be saved. They really don’t know what caused either tooth to go bad.

I'm afraid we are caught in a situation between different specialties. Physicians and Dentists rarely talk to each other. All I know is that both problems are resorption. Something in our bodies is eating away both bone and teeth. I hope you don't have any more resorption of teeth, but as I wrote before I have had 4 of them. I only have lost one tooth, since my dentist was able to save one. These recent ones have only shown up on x-ray so far and I want to try to save them.
