Dental work while on Reclast?

Posted by sebutler @sebutler, Feb 6 11:01am

Has anyone had dental work done while on Reclast? Any problems, particularly if the dental work involved an extraction or an implant? A published survey found that cases of jaw necrosis occurred two or more years after beginning Reclast, but six years or more for patients on Fosamax.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

This is a major problem with osteoporosis drugs. The No Dental Work- oral health is critical.
