I went through 7 dental professionals. I did not learn what had happened until 2 days after the dead bone came off.
Why is there no one studying those of us that got through this? I never smoked. Do not have diabetes. I did have undiagnosed blood clots. They diagnosed those 11-2019. I was given a lot of steroids.
I did start the FB group…..living with Osteonecrosis of Jaw. Everyone shares what they did….
There needs to be more out there for people like me.

Why us?

Thanks
Frances clark

(Even just cleaning). I don’t know anybody else whose dentist recommends this.

In fact he told me I could proceed with all dental work. I was in the midst of bone grafts. When I saw the oral surgeon after the bone graft healed and he found out I was on prolia he preferred not to do the surgery because of the high risk of jaw necrosis.

My oncologist took me off alendronate and later put me on raloxifene (evista). It is promotes bone health and blocks estrogen. My dental implant took well over a year, so I was glad to have something for my osteoporosis.

You should discuss drug choice with your physician. Margaret covers Prolia in detail in this post: http://melioguide.com/osteoporosis-treatment/how-long-can-you-take-prolia/
