Re: Need input!
Hi Tracy
I'm not in pain so hoping my own dentist can look at tooth and x-ray. Hopefully there is something else that can be done. I feel quite comfortable with her as she is a former staff nurse who retrained as a dentist. So she knows situation from both sides.
My Nurse did say to me - whats more important, bone or tooth? I said bone & that I wanted to have zometa. The tooth has been root treated and it is ok (at the moment).
When I got back to hospital in afternoon for treatment, my nurse offered to cancel zometa iv. Then repeated as I was leaving - no extractions!!
One of the other patients overheard my conversation with nurse & called me over to say she'd had a tooth extracted but bone damaged and gum needs packing every 2 weeks now. Because of situation with tooth, her op to repair fractures in leg & replace a pin has been postponed.
Geez!!
