I had a gum abscess and I still have sensitivity in that area and my endodontist recommended a gum graft . I am on Evenity. I talked to to the Evenity hotline number and of course it was given back to talk to my MD. Has anyone had any gum issues while on Evenity ?

kristie2, Evenity can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. If you developed the abscess after beginning Evenity, Evenity may be the cause. If you had the abcess before starting Evenity, Evenity may reduce the ability of the abcess to heal. A gum graft while on Evenity, I think, would be ill advised.
