XGEVA and Tooth Extractions

By February 28, 2022March 7th, 2022No Comments
From Dr. Rachel Klein :
When preparing to extract a tooth, be extra cautious when taking a medical history. Patients with a history of prostate cancer, multiple myeloma or other bone metastases may be taking or have taken certain medications.
Among those medications are XGEVA and Prolia and all other bisphosphanates.
Patients should avoid all extractions. We want to avoid osteonecrosis from occurring, which is a very painful and difficult to treat diagnosis.
