Extensive Work For Dents Required. What Are The Tests O Be Done And Where?

I cen't pay for anything right now, and I only have one quick question. So I will ask anyway. I have to have some ex tensive dental work done and have taken (but am not on it right now)....Boniva and Fosamax. The dentists I have been to want me to take a certain test before I have the work done. I can't find out the name of the test and where to get it done. Could you tell me the name of the test, please?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

First of all i would like to ask you what type of dental treatment you are suppose to take? based on that i can mention the test required for that?

Usually dental x-rays are taken before any treatment.
If you are having any medical conditions like BP, diabetes, hypothyroidism so this should be mentioned before the procedures like extraction, dental surgeries.
Bp and blood sugar levels are to be examined before extractions.


Hope you find this as helpful,

Regards.
