Looking for people that may have taken any bisphosphonates such as Zometa (cancer drug that helps rebuild bone marrow), Aredia or Fosamax and have had any complications after having oral surgery. My dentists, oral surgeons, oncology doctor and radiation doctor are in conference to discuss how to proceed with dental plan. Currently need extractions, but Zometa prohibits this, thus only leaving root canals. Radiation on my neck affected my saliva glands and I do not make much saliva which is suppose to help protect the teeth from decay. I've been told I cannot prevent further tooth decay because of this problem and that eventually I will need multiple root canals. Has anyone had this experience with radiation or the drugs mentioned.
