Hi @sbt54. There shouldn’t be any reason to delay your root canal treatment with having just one shot of Prolia. RCT is limited to the nerve canals of your tooth and doesn’t require any direct oral surgery impacting the bone.

There’s only a very rare possibility for some patients receiving bone loss treatments to develop osteonecrosis after an extraction, oral surgery or implants. The risk elevates with higher, long term dosages of the medication. Example; Patients who receive chemotherapy and experience severe bone loss are placed on higher dosages. You’ve just begun receiving Prolia and the benefits greatly outweigh any risks. ☺️

I spent a great portion of my career as a dental assistant, assisting with RCT and oral surgery. Do you have any questions about your root canal?
