Kay, thank you so much for the comment, and no, I did not know that BRONJ is essentially a "non-entity" in the dental world. Patients express to me fear of the ONJ but also the GI side effects and femur fracture risk. Thanks for reading and I appreciate the comment.:)

Interesting article- did you know there is no reporting by dentists for BRONJ - Bisphosphonate Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw. It is underreported and treatment is often ineffective and not covered by medical insurance. Thus this drug class persists with a profile indicating it is safer than it actually is. As a dentist with osteopenia I am lifting heavy because I don’t want that treatment. I love this post and your workouts! Thank you.
