teeth falling out

[evada]

I was put on fosamax about a year ago for. In Oct 2011 my teeth started falling out. I always had good teeth until then. Just had 4 pulled. The day after I had a bad infection in the top of my mouth. Its been 3 wks mouth is just now getting better.    My question is. Is fosamax the reason my teeth falling out.

I'm just now reading posts in this forum so this is rather late.
Fosomax can cause jaw bone problems;  not sure about the teeth.  I had problems on Nexium (prescribed for GERD- another issue) and reported it to the FDA.  Others must have also as now there are new warnings for Nexium.  You should notify the FDA, one never knows and possibly others are having problems too.
I have osteoporosis and still refuse to take that class of drugs.

That's terrible!  I would search for any lawsuits against the manufacturer of Fosamax for injury like this resulting on facial bone loss and tooth loss.  Seems to be me they should pay for any corrective dental or medical treatment and pay compensation for pain and suffering.  I've read negative things about this drug and it's ironic that it is advertised as preventing bone loss, and yet it accelerates it.  My Mother was put on this drug and after a few years lost some teeth and had bone loss, but that was several years ago and she was in her 90's in a nursing home and the statue of limitations has run out.

If I'm not mistaken, I did read this could be a possible side effect of this med. Call you Dr or pharmacist to ask if it is indeed a side effect.
