@contentand well, Forteo and Tymlos do not pose the same risks of jawbone necrosis. They build new bone. Biphosphonates, Prolia and to a lesser extent Evenity are anti-resorptives, which have the potential to affect jawbone as well as femur over time.

In fact, studies have shown that Forteo and Tymlos may actually treat problems in the jawbone or femur that are caused by the other drugs.

Forteo May Spur New Bone Growth in the Jaw. Studies show teriparatide, brand name Forteo, may help regrow jawbone loss due to periodontal disease or osteonecrosis. Two studies suggest that the drug teriparatide, or Forteo, may help people who have lost bone in their jaws because of periodontal disease or osteonecrosis.

Just google "Forteo necrosis of jaw" and lots of studies come up. I will leave it to you to see the studies but here are two articles:

Two new articles published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggest that Forteo (teriparatide) may combat osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and other fractures caused by bisphosphonate medications, such as Fosamax.

Thanks, @windyshores I was not as knowledgeable about this as you but I was pretty sure that Forteo (and Tymlos) were not a problem for jawbones as the bisphosphonates are. Your description is very helpful and reassuring as I am just about to finish up two years on Tymlos.
