Can I Go For Teeth Root Extraction After Aclasta Infusion?

Hello there, I have had yearly ACLASTA infusions for the last 5 years and have been told that I should not have any teeth work done which entails the gums/ bones. How long do I need to wait after an infusion to go ahead with some much needed teeth work where roots have to be extracted ?
Also I have very bad arthritis in my one ankle and have been told that it needs to be fused. In addition to that I have just fracture it so am going to need an operation to get it all put together again. I had my last infusion in February. Please advise. Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
If you are on aclasta dental procedures like extractions are avoided because they could lead to complications.
A course of antibiotics and analgesics could be taken, also get the tooth examined by the Dentist x-ray can be taken, if the procedure is less invasive it could be performed.

Take care!
