Members shared their experiences navigating dental work while on Prolia, with most dentists and doctors advising patients to wait anywhere from two to six months after an injection before undergoing tooth extractions or other procedures due to concerns about jaw complications. Several members emphasized the critical importance of not missing or delaying Prolia injections beyond the six-month window, as one member shared a cautionary story of developing eight compression spinal fractures after missing a dose. A recurring theme was the need for close coordination between endocrinologists and dentists, with timing of dental work often scheduled just before the next scheduled Prolia shot to minimize risk while maintaining bone health.
