I'm scared of my teeth
I'm scared, so very scared. I have an almost complete spinal fusion. T1 to pelvis. My neck now needs fused. A Dexi-scan has revealed that I have osteoporosis. They want me to have Evenity injection s. I have terrible teeth. I have Sjogren's (dry mouth) I'm always having my teeth worked on. I've lost 4 teeth over the years and have 8 crowns and 1 implant! At 62, my gums aren't great. Of course, the dentist says, " Ask your endocrinologist, and the endocrinologist says, see the dentist." No one wants to make the call. I'm not having an extraction, but I'm scheduled to have some of my bottom teeth fixed as they are literally disintegrating. How will the Evenity affect my teeth? I've complained for years that dentures might be so much better. $12,000. I will figure out how to pay for it, but any dentist worth anything won't do it. Is my jaw going to be ok? Has anyone else have dental work while on Evenity? I'm literally shaking. I've chewed the inside of my cheeks raw in anxiety. Now I worry about that, LOL
