Support For Those Quitting Prolia

I appreciate learning of everyone’s experiences. I’ve been on Prolia for two years, (4 injections)with no side effects to date. I had three spinal compression fractures in 2023. I will have a Dexa scan next month. I did get a bit stressed when I needed a root canal. I know having an extraction or implant is not an option on Prolia. The edodontist said even if he sent me to an oral surgeon he would refuse treatment because Prolia can cause complications. The endodontist had me start amoxicillin two days before the root canal and continue thru ten days as a preventative measure. He also put in calcium into the tooth with a temp seal. I will return to learn if this has worked. If not the option is to remove the tooth above the gum line, stitch the gum closed. The body will eventually absorb the part of the tooth that is left. My regular dentist said that is a procedure that is used sometimes in my situation. If the tooth is stable, a new crown will be next. Oral meds are not an option because I have a hiatal hernia and take Prilosec.
