Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Neither doctor had informed me that I had to go off of the Evenity. I have had a root canal years ago along with a crown. This crown broke off so now they have to remove what is under the gum when they first did the root canal. From my understanding that area can get infected if I don't remove it. It may get infected after they remove it. I had tried calling the Amegen regarding the Evenity but never could contact anyone. I had left a message for them to return my call but I could never get them. I am taking a huge chance that it will all work out.

Two things I have heard but cannot cite or confirm.
One, Evenity is less of an anti-resorptive than Prolia or biphosphonates.
Two Even with biphosphonates and Prolia, risk is relatively low and most cases of dental issues/jaw necrosis happen with the high doses given to cancer patients.
I have disability from fractures and would take the same risk. I had a bad afib episode after starting Tymlos but went back to it at a low dose. The pain and disability we have inspires risk-taking with meds as well as hope they will help 🙂
