Fosamax and tooth extraction

I forget how many years ago I had a back molar removed due to necrosis. My dentist said it was due to being on Fosamax for 5 years. My rheumatologist didn't think that was the cause but I stopped taking it because it was said it also effected the heart. With heart disease in both sides of my family I felt it was the right decision for me. I do go for regular bone scans and they are doing fine.

I understand your concern ! I have been on Prolia for one year and then Reclast infusion as a transition from Prolia in March of 2022. I had to have a root extracted on October 13,2022. So far it seems to be healing well. I am cautiously optimistic that the healing of the bone will continue and I can move forward and have my four remaining teeth roots removed. If your oral surgeon is experienced, the odds are things will go well.
Good Luck !!!
Let us know how you do !
