I’d definitely make sure both the oncologist and dentist know you’re receiving Xgeva before having the wisdom tooth removed. The concern around osteonecrosis of the jaw is worth discussing properly, and the dentist can assess the tooth, gums and overall situation before deciding on the safest approach. Good oral hygiene and following the aftercare instructions closely also seem important. If you’re in the Northern Beaches area, Park St Dental Practice in Mona Vale has dental surgeons with experience in wisdom tooth removal, so it could be worth discussing the medication history with a dental team before proceeding. Hopefully your appointment goes smoothly, Klea, and you get some clear answers.
