Hi @mmkrsk. You’ve already done what I was going to suggest…to speak with your dentist. There really shouldn’t be any issue or interference having the crown done now, before the upcoming Reclast injection. In fact it’s perfect timing. ☺️

Thank you for your prompt reply! I was thinking the timing is good too. But then today I read somewhere that you should wait 6 to 8 weeks after any dental work (other than routine cleaning or small filling) before your next Reclast. That would've been great except that I was not having any trouble w/my tooth until now.
My dentist says they are more concerned if there is an extraction or implant, but he is not worried about this crown. I have a message in to my endocrinologist too---praying he will feel it is safe b/c I definitely do not want to get behind on my osteoporosis meds. But I don't want to wait for the crown either.
I've never had this kind of dental work; when I got my dental cleaning in Jan the dentist said, "Whatever you're doing, just keep doing it. Everything looks great". Then recently I got a hairline crack in a molar that had a filling in it that's decades old. Bad timing.
Thank you again, and if you have any other insight, I'm all ears.
