Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

My oncologist has recommended I start prolia injections. I’ve finished all my cancer treatment but have osteoporosis. I’m 65 and my teeth need fixing. I’ve heard you should have dental work done before starting prolia. Are there other alternatives for making your bones stronger?

I believe that all of the osteoporosis drugs have a possible side effect of osteonecrosis of the jaw. This is only a concern if you are having teeth filled--not if you are having fillings, crowns, root canals, etc.
