Cathy, sorry to hear of your issues with your teeth. I have not had radiation, but had chemo and was on arimidex and aromasin in the past year. Two of my crowns have fallen out and I have had 3 upper molars fracture. The last one that fractured caused an abcess and the tooth had to be pulled. The dentist told me the problem was coming from the arimidex and aromasion causing bone loss in my jaw. I will be having several teeth pulled in the next few months and then partial dentures. I have decided not to take any more AI's due to all the side effects they were causing me and now this problem with my teeth. I feel your pain!
