Re: Zometa and dental treatment.
I've had infusions of Aclasta for four years but my teeth are getting worse and one actually crumbled, a close friend is suffering with Osteonecrosis of the jaw which prompted me to ask my Onc if I could drop it now, just awaiting results of a Dexa scan which she'll review and decide then. I really prefer not to take these meds any more and my Dentist was very cautious in treating me while I still take these and actually left a tiny piece of my extracted tooth in my gum rather than dig any deeper to get it out.
