Experiences with tooth problems concurrent with Zometa treatments

Hi Sue Ellen,
I had 3 crowns this past year, I also had 2 crowns the year before my breast cancer and the Zometa infusions. I still have 2 more Zometa infusions till I complete all 6. Infusions. So far I haven't had any problems with the crowns. I had so many silver fillings over the years in all of my molars and those are the teeth that have needed crowns. I am 72 so those fillings were there a long time. I am not a person who grinds my teeth tho so that is a different issue. After praying everyday to stay in remission and to stay well, I do tell myself that Zometa is helping me and it is not hurting me. I hope that is helping too.
Wishing the best for you with your dental issues and sending you love and wellness wishes. ❤️

Thx SO much for sharing! You’ve helped calm my anxiety as feel I can’t wait 3 yrs for the crowns and hoping to help preserve tooth a bit longer! I do know from previous crowns that there is a risk of cracking tooth if the tooth is shaved too much to set up for crown but I’m sure my prosthodontist wouldn’t attempt if he thought this might happen! I’m so upset with myself for taking care of this earlier but didn’t think I’d be on Zometa! Again thx you so much for sharing! I’ll keep ya posted! Xoxo
