Yes my dentist only knows about bisphosphonates and thought Tymlos was the same.

Question that also pertains to me: I gather you are going to have the DEXA on your wrist. Wrist is cortical bone and spine is trabecular. Tymlos works best on trabecular.

I have fractures at three thoracic vertebrae and at L1, L3 and L5, maybe L2. That only leaves L3 for the scan! I would not want my wrist used to be honest but wonder if there is an alternative that still measures trabecular- for you and for me. I am going to ask my doctor before my next scan in April.
