What Causes Pain And Degeneration Of The Jaw While On Prolia Shot?
I have received a Prolia injection and my dentist says that it is causing degeneration of my jaw. It hurts and is loosening my teeth. How bad can the jaw get? Would it deform my face? Prevent me from eating? My email address is YYYY@YYYY . How will I know that you have sent one? Can t you just type it here?

Hi
thank you for your query on hcm
Since you have taken Prolia injection please take care of your oral hygiene. It should be well maintained. Take calcium and vitamin D supplements. Always discuss with your dental surgeon before going for a tooth removal. If it harms avoid it because sometimes it may exacerbate the condition of jaw degeneration. Discontinue Prolia inj., if it causes risk than advantage after discussing with a physician/oral surgeon.
hope ur doubt cleared
thank you
