I had my last shot of Prolia in July 2024 and am due for another in January. But on Jan. 2 I had 3 teeth extracted, lower jaw....it was a surprise, doc said he was going to 'save' the teeth and decided during the visit to extract 3!! It was brutal and I'm still experiencing numbness on my chin.

Should I start with Tymlos or something else now? I'm afraid to go back on Prolia, but in '23 there was almost a year off Prolia for other dental work and in the interim fractured 2 vertebrae from lifting heavy trash.

I'm scared to death. Almost 82 yrs. old with osteoporosis for 10 years now. Any help would be so appreciated. TIA

@pianogirl1943 How did you make out with your extractions? I hope your doctor put you on Tymlos or Forteo since there are studies that show these can help with healing after a dental procedure. I know stopping Prolia can be dangerous if you don't follow up with another drug.
