@maryfrommissouri Fosomax builds bone? I thought it just maintained them and that Tymlos and Forteo were the only two that built bones. I definitely will be needing a bone-building medication so I will have to look into that one too. I have a dental hygiene appointment in a week or two, I plan to ask there what they have for input.

@contentandwell Glad your doing research There are to many of those bone builders that the Dr prescribes will cause problems with your jaw and teeth . OUr babies took a lot of calcium from out teeth .

I had a lower back molar that possibly needed to be extracted. My dentist refused to remove the tooth once she knew I had taken bone meds. She felt the risk of jaw fracture wasn't worth removing the tooth, and suggested a second opinion, which i did not pursue...the tooth doesn't cause any real problem. At the time, i had already stopped the meds for at least 1 yr but my drs have told me, they stay in the system up to 4 yrs. Actonel had caused me uncomfortable body aches which had me limping after 15 of walking. I'm trying to eat bone healthy...i have not had another bone density done yet.
