I have seen rheumatologists for decades because I have psoriatic arthritis. When my Op got to a certain point , she referred my to the endocrinologist. I still see both. I go to a place, UCSF, that they have so many “specialists”. Now because I had trouble with my jaw when I took fosanex , she wanted me to see a doctor that specialize in dental /OP .
I don’t know if that it would help. What is he going to say, yes when you took those drugs, your teeth break. How is that helping?

Maybe they'll prescribe Forteo--my favorite drug. https://ascopost.com/news/july-2020/teriparatide-for-medication-related-osteonecrosis-of-the-jaw/
It isn't just the teeth. Usually the teeth weaken when the jaw bone is affected. Because fosamax stays in your bones for a very long time, your jaw can't heal.
