Default prolia shot

I have had 3 shots of prolia 6 months apart. My bone density showed that I was not losing any more bone, but did not improve at this point from the shots. No side affects except for dental.
A tooth in the front broke off at the gum line. I needed surgery to cut the gum in order to remove what was left of the tooth. When you are on prolia, it is a big deal with dental.
My dentist and the dental surgeon conferred that as long as it was less then 5 years, I could have the tooth removed and get an implant. They explained that just having a tooth removed when you are on prolia for a long time could lead to the bone never healing from where the tooth was removed. Implants take a long time as they usually do.
I don't know when or if I will go back on prolia. I have about a year to decide what to do. I don't know if this helped you, but just watch how your teeth are doing.
