The more I read & hear, the less I like.
It seems that the very thing they are giving to stop problems are causing them. I have 2 bone mets & I know there are other benefits that I need but I have to consider the side effects as well.

My dentist did tell me that if I had a problem in the future there are treatments that can be done including capping off teeth & not extracting. Didn't ask for details - for obvious reasons!
As Janis says "exception to the rule", so why are they concentrating on the worse case scenario. Not exactly reassuring.
