Re: Dental work & Zometa
I had to have a tooth removed when I was on Zometa and then had an implant put in. It wasn't on my lower jaw and my docs and dentist weren't concerned about problems with it. My onc said problems most often occur when one hasn't taken care of their teeth for a while.
I did have antibiotics to clear up the abcess that started the whole thing
(and I have to say that the implant worked well and I love it-one more step to being a bionic woman!)
