Hi, I 'm wondering if anyone knows how soon after dental work can zometa infusions begin? My onc advised me to get my wisdom teeth out before starting the zometa. The 2 left were the bottom ones and one was fully bony impacted so the surgeon also did a bone graft. How long do I need to heal before zometa can start? I sure don't want to increase my risk for the osteonecrosis of the jaw! But at the same time, I'm already a year out from chemo and would like to get started as soon as possible!

(I will be getting zometa because of osteopenia and early menopause from hyster/oopherectomy at age 39. I also have a mild case of scoliosis that my onc said can become worse with bone loss. She thought all of the above reasons warranted her enough reasons to justify ordering the zometa off-label for me.)
