I had breast cancer in 1998 and after a lumpectomy and lymph node dissection, I was prescribed with Fosamax. My 1st tooth broke off at the gum about 5 months after I started taking Fosamax. I have since lost quite a few teeth from either loosening or breaking off. I consider that I had good teeth up til this point. I thought for many years maybe radiation I took caused it until I heard that those are some of the problems associated with Fosamax.
It has been almost 14 years and I have very few teeth, some are broke off at the gum but still there. My husband was on Social Security almost from then and I never had insurance or money to pay to have my teeth fixed or dentures. My husband passed away March 2010 and just got on SSDI for me, so I still do not have the means to get them fixed. I am sure that this problem affects my whole health, the way I eat, the things I have to eat.
Please let me know if you think Fosamax has had anything to do with this problem. A whole lot of years of suffering health wise and emotional from self consciousness from not being able to smile. Thank you.
