Dental Care After Reclast

I haven't taken Reclast in several years. Is it safe for me to have extensive dental work now? I will need to have 9 teeth pulled, an upper plate made and a partial made on the bottom.

Hello, Sandra! How are you?

Well, your dental work is a necessity, frankly, with all the problems I had over the years, it was relief to get my full dentures and I've never regretted it.

However, Reclast can linger for years and still affect your body, so the best thing to do is to inform your dentist that you were on it and when, then they can decide if it's safe to do your work and, if so, they will know what problems to watch out for, since it's biggest danger in such cases, as reported by the FDA, is osteonecrosis of the jaw. If it's caught early, it can be treated.

Is there anything else I can help with?
