I had an extraction & implant before Prolia. I’ve had 4 Prolia injections and recently needed a root canal. The endodontist said he would send me to an oral surgeon, but an oral surgeon would refuse to treat me because of Prolia. The endodontist prescribed amoxicillin for ten days as a preventative measure. I started it two days before the root canal. He filled the interior of the tooth with calcium and added a temporary seal. I wait four weeks and return to see how it is working. Best case scenario I will need a new crown. If the tooth doesn’t look better, grind the tooth down to just below the gum line, seal off, and over time the body will absorb what is left of the tooth.
Implants are no longer an option due to Prolia. I regret going on it. I’m 79 and my mother had osteoporosis and refused to take Fosomax. She fell and broke several vertebrae. Her bones were so brittle drs couldn’t help her. She died 4 weeks after the fall. Watching her suffer made me want to try something, anything. Prolia is about as good as some other choices but dental issues create serious problems. I’m due for a 5th Prolia injection late September. I would like an alternative. Having a Dexa scan this month to see if two years of Prolia helped.
