Dental work while on Reclast

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.

I left a dentist 1 1/2 yrs ago because he wanted to pull a tooth that was a little loose. I had at that tkme had 2 Aclasta (Reclast) infusions. He said oh that's nothing to concern yourself with. So I ddcided he was not right for me. My new dentist not only said it is a real concern and the tooth can be saved.
