I have osteonecrosis of the jaw.

my friend who has never taken osteoporosis medications, & has history of osteoporosis, found out from her dentist that she does have ONJ. She thought she had something stuck in gum area between her teeth & upon exam was told this was part of osteonecrosis of her jaw.

Interesting. Do her doctors know what caused the ONJ, given that she's never taken osteoporosis meds?
So far, I've never heard that osteoporosis, by itself, can cause ONJ. So my thinking's based on assumptions, not facts.
