brendammc,
I'm so sorry about those fractures. They can be miserable.
it's a really good idea to have a dental check. But with Forteo you wouldn't need to wait. Forteo and Tymlos are the two osteoporosis medications that increase bone in the jaw. They don't cause osteonecrosis and are the medications used to help resolve decay of the jaw.
They both also speed the healing of fractures.
I'd want to begin research by knowing the "mechanism of action" of any medication under consideration. You can find that in the package inserts, but on the internet some drug companies have produced videos cartoons of how their drug works. https://www.youtube.com/watch
The Sante Fe Bone Symposium https://www.ofnm.org/santa-fe-bone-symposium/ provides videos of presentations from their meetings. The don't provide videos of the discussions that ensue. And it is good to remember that the presentations are theory and hypothesis.
It is great your are doing the research.
oh, I'm 74 and started Forteo at 72.
