Members shared whether osteoporosis can turn teeth grey, with the consensus being that grey teeth are more likely related to aging factors rather than osteoporosis itself, though the condition can still significantly impact dental health. Several members described heartbreaking experiences with severe tooth loss, broken teeth, jaw pain, and osteonecrosis of the jaw, a serious condition where bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply, often related to osteoporosis treatments. A recurring theme was the importance of consulting both dentists and doctors when experiencing jaw pain or dental issues, staying vigilant about oral health while managing osteoporosis, and leaning on community support during difficult diagnoses and treatments.

Had my appointment at hospital it confirmed osteonecrosis of the jaw it’s when no blood circulates and causes bone death hence why pain swelling and jaw pain the dead bone finds it way out through your gums which mine did leaving large holes around gum line antibiotics for 8weeks and follow up check ups to keep eye on it hope this helps

I don't have to worry about grey teeth! Thanks to osteoporosis or the drugs I was given I no longer have any teeth! They would get loose and just fall out. Perfectly good teeth. The dentist pulled the last few. Unfortunately I have never got any dentures that fit right.
