Lisa,
Let me tell you about a patient of mine. She is also on Zometa and she had an extraction 2 years ago without any complications. At that time we did not know the dangers from oral surgery and biophosphonates. You can still have dental work done, just not traumatic surgery, ie teeth pulled or major gum surgery and such. Besides if you see a specialist, the complication they are most worried about is osteonecrosis and this can be treated with hyperbaric treatment if it were to occur. My advice would be to visit your dentist reg. and have them keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
Take care,
Anne
