Will my Osteoporosis medication interfere with my dental care?
It is very important to your health that you make sure to inform your dentist if you are taking Bisphosphonates (Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax, Zometa, plus others) for Osteoporosis. Patients taking this medication may not be candidates for some dental treatments due to the reactions with Osteoporosis medications. Please contact your dentist if you have any questions.
