Hi Cara speak to you’re breast care nurse or Oncologist before having a tooth extraction.
I had a useless dentist who said it would be okay to have a tooth extraction, even when I told him I was on Denosumab injections monthly.
Four months later I had problems with the tooth socket not healing.
I changed dentist & he referred me to the Oral Maxilla Consultant.
I’ve been with this Consultant for over a year, necrosis of my jaw bone was diagnosed & I visit him on a regular basis to have debribment of the sharp dead jaw bone poking through, I had my targeted therapy medication & the Denosumab injection stopped for four months hoping it would heal but unfortunately not.
I’m now back on the Denosumab that caused my problem because the Oncologist said it’s beneficial for the metastasis in my bones.
This is now an on going situation for me so please take advice, I wouldn’t like it to happen to anyone else.X
