Tooth decay doesn’t mean someone has Osteonecrosis, right? How is osteonecrosis diagnosed? Bone scans? Would it show up on standard dental X-rays? I am at the beginning of weekly Fosamax and have had pain in a tooth that my dentist filled six months ago. I want to switch to an injection instead of the Fosamax because I have trouble remembering to take it and always drink water before I get up in the morning. My PCP isn’t helpful. The tooth needs a crown so does it matter if I do the crown before switching to an injection? I know my medication is very different from Prolia. But is dental work concerning for all osteoporosis meds?
