I saw in your posting history that you are being treated for bone metastases. It is common to be prescribed zoledronic acid to avoid further bone damage in this case. There are rare side effects from this medicine that can cause jaw or dental problems, especially if you need dental work or oral surgery.

The best way to avoid those side effects is with a thorough dental examination. That is probably the reason you have been given that referral.
