Thanks for this helpful information. I have my regular six month dentist appointment next week. When I had a crown on an adjacent tooth and the filling on the tooth that is a still bothering me I had a muscle spasm in my cheek. It was excruciating. I had to give it time to calm down. I saw an endodontist before they placed the crown on the adjacent tooth and she said I didn’t need a root canal. That’s why I’m concerned about the pain.
I am on Anastrozole (Aromatase Inhibitor -AI) for breast cancer. So the osteoporosis and muscle spasm could be related to the AI.
Your explanation about osteonecrosis is very helpful. I don’t believe I have osteonecrosis
but it’s annoying that doctors seem clueless. It’s difficult to know where to go from here.

I was told that implants and extractions promote onj with fosamax as opposed to crowns and root canals? What have you heard?
