My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (1085)Comment receiving replies
Hi. I am considering Evenity, which the insurance has approved based on my endocrinologist's recommendation. I have had considerable dental work, no implants, but root canal, cavities in the past, two molars removed within the last ten years, and when they were removed the dentists told me I had long term infections in my gums. For this reason I am concerned about necrosis of the jaw that seems to be a risk with all of these bone strengthening drugs. Have you had much dental work? I am 82 years old.

Actually I haven’t had any dental issues , Other than cavities . It sounds like yours may be Pre existing before Evenity. I was told if you need extraction . That could be where complications start . Slower healing time and possible infections . I think any drug we take now a days there are side affects. Even over the counter ones . Hang in there . 🤗😊

I Googled for you . Necrosis does not seem to be a side affect of Evenity . I read it is the ones you take orally .

@lashu you could consider Tymlos or Forteo instead: they do not pose the same dental/jaw risks.
