Dental work while on Reclast

Posted by hlp123 @hlp123, Oct 4, 2022

I had an infusion of Reclast in March 2022 as a transition drug to stop taking Prolia. I had a tooth break off at the gum last week and saw an oral surgeon yesterday and he said he needs to remove the root of the tooth before it becomes infected. Has anyone had invasive dental work, such as this while on Reclast ?
Please let me know about your experience.
Thank you,

4 medications that I take cause
dry mouth. Dry mouth is a total tooth killer. I got a portable water pick that I use all the time to irrigate. I am 70 and live in a senior building. Everyone walks around in pain from arthritis. They really don't have a good medication to treat arthritis. Someday.

I had it done. Did whole mouth in one visit. No problems & have good results.
Was under for the procedure. Recovery was fast & very little discomfort.
Highly recommend & would do it again.
If you have deep pockets this will shrink them. Had 4s & 7s & now 2s & 3s .
