Re: Zometa and dental treatment.

Found some info re dental treatment on a main UK Cancer site- MacMillan.
Their advice re dental work when on bisphosphonates :-
Removal of tooth or root is the problem.
Implants should be avoided when on treatment.
It is alright to have scaling, polishing, or gum treatments.
if extraction required you need to inform Doctor and stop Bisphosphonate treatment until socket has fully healed.
