@sstopalian: My sister-in-law's nurse practitioner, for a general practice, is the one who oversees her Prolia injections every 6 months. Recently I overheard a conversation she was having with her brother (my husband) on speaker phone whereby she said she needed to have a tooth pulled. When I sent a text afterward asking her when she last had a Prolia injection she said she had not been told that there is a time period you need to wait after getting an injection before having a tooth pulled. (At least 4 months and preferably 5, I've been told.) Thank God her dentist knew told her no future injections for at least 6 weeks. I agree that for osteoporosis one should be seeing a specialist. Some women are apparently even treated by their gynecologist. A friend of mine was seeing a rheumatologist for her osteoporosis treatment and when she transferred to Stanford the endocrinologist asked, "Why were you seeing a rheumatologist?"
