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.

Thank you for your reply. I’ve had 11 Evenity injections, and I injured my lower middle tooth. I think it will need to be extracted, but because my dentist is out of town I can’t see him till Wednesday. I’m going to ask him to call my doctor and discuss this with him if it needs to be pulled. My trying to call and get to talk to him would be like “pulling teeth.” Sorry for the pun! I’ll let you know what happens.
