I would make sure she stays off of Prolia especially if she has teeth issues. I think Prolia as well as any bisphosamates can cause Osteonecrosis of the jaw. I know that is very painful because a friend of mine is 86 and she just started having jaw pain and was diagnosed with that.

Your friend may not know about Forteo being the one drug prescribed to resolve osteonecrosis.
Teeth issues are terrible for us because it complicates our ability to get nutrition.
