Does Osteo Porosis Affect Your Teeth?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Liverpool,N.S

I lost 4 bottom teeth a few years ago and I had to get a partial plate. I thought it was from grinding my teeth at night but could it also be that the gums are weakened from Osteoporosis?

Experience With Fosamax?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Novato, CA

Hi, my mom (67) was diagnosed with Osteo one year ago but does not want to take any medication. Her doctor recommended Fosamax. What have been your experiences with it? Positive and negative.

Or with Actonel, Boniva, Reclast? Or something else?

I want to try to help her find a treatment to prevent her from having a fracture or further bone loss.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I was originally taking Prolia and then I moved over to Kaiser in 2022. and they gave me reclast. I had an allergic reaction to it.
