Anyone had oral surgery while on Evenity?

I have learned so much from this support group over the past year – it is the first thing I read each morning with a cup of coffee. While I want to (eventually) write a longer post, I wanted to reply quickly to your question as I recently had an implant. I started on Evenity in January of 2023 and discovered that I needed to extract a molar (crack and infection) in May. My oral surgeon thought it would be fine without a pause in medication but I checked with my endocrinologist and the dentist checked with a colleague at the local university medical school (all three are affiliated). They all agreed so I went ahead with what turned out to be quite a difficult and lengthy extraction but I followed the advice to ice the area consistently. The jaw area was a little swollen for several days, but I needed only a little Advil. The bone implant grew without incident, in fact when he measured the bone density (not sure the name of the tool he used) the strength was “88-89” and deemed excellent. I just had the crown placed on the post. As we know, everyone is different but I wanted to let you know that I had a good experience while continuing Evenity throughout.

I stopped Evenity for six weeks before and after oral surgery. No bad effects.
