Can Osteoporosis Cause Teeth Discomfort?

Can osteoporosis cause teeth to move? Any problems with dentistry work?
I am 63 years old, 5'71/2" female. I have severe osteoporosis and have taken Reclast and take calcium and vitamen D3 supplements every day. I am also out 13 years out from stage 4 melanoma.
I am an equestrian and wear protective gear. I'm allowed to ride as long as I take no risks.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, osteoporosis usually is not known to cause teeth discomfort or movement.
2. However, associated osteonecrosis of jaw requires evaluation.
3. X-ray of the jaw will confirm the diagnosis.
4. Meet your doctor for tests.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
