Does anyone know if I can get dental work done before starting reclast
I’m just done with Evenity ( 12 months) and need to start Reclast or Prolia. Dentists don’t seem to know so I need input as I need some teeth pulled and likely will not do an implant but something else, less involved. I thought I’d use the 2 month break from Evenity ( and anything else) to get oral surgury and a few partials…I’m nervous as I can’t find info or any facts about this! Thank you!

I was, and maybe still am, a bit scared about Forteo, but I started my third year on daily injections of Forteo in July and have had no issues so far.
Hi Terry…just back from an mri but waited about 2 hrs and cancelled ..as I get too nervous…maybe an hr I can wait…but rescheduled as this podiatrist is trying to find out how come my leg be muscles are so tight, restrictive and painful when I put too much weight on the left…it feels like they are collapsing…
I just got back..gonna have a snack…lunch really…and rest up a bit..I’m hoping to try calling tomorrow…no dr etc…& I have had no preps for forteo..believe one email of yours asked me…and I still don’t know what mini
Implants are…this surgeon said partials would be better for me….guessing my gums, teeth, bones don’t look good enough….a few questions to chew on
S. Let me know if 4 tomorrow doesn’t work..will find another time

Your surgeon has to know best compared to what I don't know.
I'm glad you are working with a podiatrist. I never would have thought about podiatrists looking at leg muscle. Have you had blood work for skeletal muscle enzymes?
My dentist had to fill out a Dental Clearance form my doctor required first.

This really stood out to me as I'm considering Reclast as my next drug after finishing 1 year of Evenity.
"While it is important to follow up Evenity with something, it seems mistaken to follow an antiresporptive with an antiresorptive, even granting that they work in different ways."
Sooo, now what?
