The way I understand this issue is that any dental work that doesn’t impact the jaw is fine. I have had quite a bit of dental work, and so has my husband. But I had a tooth get broken and start dying, that required a root canal. I had not had my infusions during the pandemic and the root canal went fine. Then I had to have that tooth pulled because it started to crumble under the crown. I was very afraid of osteonecrosis of the jaw. But I was about 6 months past due for my infusion and and it is a tiny percentage of people who get this. Everything went fine. I healed normally after a very difficult extraction. I will start my infusions again as soon as it is safe to do so.
