About to start Prolia: What's your experience?

If you receive a Prolia injection you can't have any serious dental work done until 6 months after your injection. This has just happened to me. I have a molar that needs serious work and the endodontist says I can't have the tooth removed for 6 months. This happened just 2 weeks after my injection. I am now on antibiotics.

I can relate. I have a molar requiring extraction followed by an implant. Saw oral surgeon last month. Both oral surgeon and endocrinologist say must wait until month six of Prolia injection which is January as I got my injection at end of July. Hope this tooth hangs in. General dentist cleaned out infection and what remains of tooth has temporary crown. Hope the tooth hangs in until Jan., hope once its extracted that the bone heals properly, hope I am not one of those victims who gets Prolia-caused osteonecrosis of the jaw. Endocrinologist says this time can wait 7 months for next injection. These osteoporosis drugs! Wonder about the risk/benefit ratio.
