IV Zometa

As part of my treatment I receive  IV Zometa every 3months.

I have a lot of dental problems due to my Lupus meds and health issues.

I have recently lost 4 teeth and have bone fragments pushing through and socket doesn't heal.

My dentist was monitoring the situation but she is now referring me to the Maxillo Facial department at hospital.

I am aware of the side effects of the Zometa.

This has been stopped meantime.

Has anyone had experience of this and what was done to treat it.

I have secondary breast cancer to various bones.

Scans are stable. 

Thank you for any advice.

Doreen.

    I have also had Zometa, once every 6 months for 3 years so far but haven't had the same issues as you. I hope they are able to treat you successfully for your teeth problems.
