I lost my four bottom front teeth to root resorption. Didn't have anything to do with. Hadn't been diagnosed with osteopenia at that time, and I wasn't on any of the meds. Dentist says it just happens - there are theories, but mostly the reason for it is unknown. Dentist sent me to endodontist just to see if root canals might save the teeth. Endodontist told me it would be a waste of time and money - I would lose the teeth anyway. I now have two implants and an implant bridge.

I also have had 2 bottom front teeth lost to resorption. I do have osteopenia and I take no medications of any type. I have started calcium citrate/vit D and a multivitamin. Like you, dentists don't really know why it happens. I had the 2 teeth removed and replaced with implants. I am 78 and hopeful no other teeth start down this path. Is it perhaps associated with osteopenia - makes sense but who knows.
