So, you have a tooth that needs to be pulled because of infection. So you have been on Prolia for 4 years. What do you do a) Stay on antibiotics the rest of my life hoping to not develop an immunity to antibiotics. b) Pull it out and hope for the best…Endo says don’t pull it but gives no recourse. Dental Surgeon has no recourse either. Was not even told about Prolia pros and cons. Now that I am informed…I am mad that I was even put on it. This drug is heaven for the drug company…have to take it forever….or die from side effects.

I hope that your doctor works with you on this. All medical treatments involve risk/benefit evaluation.
My doctor had me take a break from the prolia before having a molar pulled then a continued break before resuming treatment. I had no adverse affects from the break or the extraction.
Also there is a medication that you can take to kind of lock in the gains from prolia after you take it for a couple years then discontinue.
If your doctor isn’t giving you information and options, would you be willing to get a second opinion?
