Re: Is it ok to have dental check up while on Zometa?

I work at a periodontal office & one of our doctors has done lots of research on this. From what I know, the chances of osteonecrosis of the jaw are extremely rare. But if you need any invasive dental work - like a tooth extraction or surgery - you should get clearance from your MD. Sometimes they hold the zometa for a couple weeks or so. I hope this was helpful! But it's super important to take care of your teeth brush & floss every day. Gail
