Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?

My endocrinologist wants me to start Reclast in January after 20 years of Fosomax. My dentist said absolutely not and to talk with an oral surgeon due to cases of osteonecrosis.

I apologize. I was on Fosomax for 10 years. I am now 70.

Oh my. My endo said Reclast will follow Evenity (I just started on it/am 82 and it is my first treatment of any kind for bone loss, I have a negative 3.2 spine score.)
How much necrosis has your dentist seen? What does he suggest as an alternative? Can you just go without any alternative?

I saw my dentist a week after my Reclast infusion. Having oral surgery is not recommended when on Reclast but having your teeth cleaned is no problem.
