Tina, I also need dental work and have been on Prolia for three years. The endocrinologist who prescribed my Prolia knew I have been on steroids for forty eight years and still insisted I needed Prolia because I’ve lost three inches in height. I made a huge mistake by not researching the medication beforehand. As the side effects started to show their ugly face I complained but was told to stop looking things up! What a terrible situation I have myself into. Why do doctors not give us the information we need and allow us to make our own decisions? I don’t understand.
