I've been on Forteo for 2 years, now stopped. My osteopath recommends Reclast; however, I also had a lower tooth removed because it would not support a crown and was infected. The oral surgeon inserted some cadaver bone in the place where the implant will go and I'm to wait till March to have the actual implant. Meanwhile, my osteopath is waiting to hear from the oral surgeon about reclast. Not sure if I posted my comment in the right place, but would like some feedback from ya'all. thanks liz weston

I’m glad your Osteopath is checking with an oral surgeon. My taking Reclast more than 6 years ago is the reason my oral surgeon said he won’t extract a bad tooth. Instead he has referred me to a teaching hospital where he said they are better equipped to handle the risk of bone infection and other complications. He also said if I had taken an oral bisphosphanate like Fosamax, instead of an injectable bisphosphanate like Reclast, he would feel safe to pull the tooth himself. I wish I had known this years ago.
