This can have an appearance of more bone on a bone density test, however, it is deceiving.

Mobility is Life, so many patients share I hurt all over I must be getting old. No, it's inflammation and we need to halt the inflammation to better protect the one body we have. As a medical dental practice, we see new patients who were referred to us for teeth that are moving. While there can be multiple causes: infection, medication, poor hygiene, poor lifestyle and more we must educate that many medications prescribed by their doctor can be the cause. One being biphosphonates. Today we will discuss alternatives including weight bearing exercise, hormones and a medical dental approach to keep your bones healthy.
