Managing Gum Infections With Myeloma?
AI-generated title
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing gum issues. I have had continuous problems with gum inflammation and infections since August 2021. Prior to this I always had outstanding dental appointments. My peridontist hesitates in doing any surgery that may help due to the fact I had Zometa for 2 years which I stopped in January 2018. He ran a CTX blood test which shows how well your bone turnover is. I was at 121 and a normal reading begins at 150. He is concerned with osteonecrosis. In my last visit, he says it is the myeloma causing the infections which doesn't make sense because I just had a CT/Pet in March 24 and it didn't show any bone involvement.
Thank you in advance for your time.
