Atelvia And Dental Work

If I need to have dental work done (eg: root canal or tooth pulled) do I have to stop taking Atelvia before the work is done?

REPORT

Atelvia contains the active ingredient Risedronate and is used to help with bone strengthening, in conditions such as Osteoporosis.

As to that, you should check with your dentist. You should always inform them of any medications you are currently taking and they will let you know if there are any concerns regarding the procedures you need to have done.

Yes, you do have to stop taking altevia for an extraction. You have to stop taking it for as long as you were on it. I had to see an oral surgeon, a dentist who called an oral surgeon and two dentists to find the correct answer. I also wrote to five University dental schools. I have to delay an extraction for three months because that was the length of time I was on it. If, any dentist or oral surgeon tells you otherwise get it in writing before you proceed. I've spent over $900.00 dollars on x-rays, opinions in reference to this subject.
