Prolia After Dental Bone Spur Removal

I had a wisdom tooth pulled in 2/25 and have had several bone spikes clipped off from sore on gum. Now in September 2025 no more spikes but chin still sore. My prolia is due now. What to do?

Prolia is a medicine that helps your bones, but one of the risks is something called osteonecrosis of the jaw (basically, jawbone healing problems). Because of that, dentists and doctors usually like you to wait until your mouth is fully healed before getting your next Prolia shot.

Since you had your wisdom tooth pulled back in February and those bone spurs clipped a few times, the good news is that by September most of the healing is probably done. The fact that your gum spikes are gone is a good sign. The soreness in your chin might just be the nerves and tissue still calming down - that can take months.

What to do right now:

Don’t just guess - call the dentist or oral surgeon who treated you and let them know Prolia is due. They can check if your gum and bone look fully healed.

Also let your regular doctor (the one who prescribes Prolia) know about the dental work and the lingering soreness. Sometimes they’ll delay a dose if they think healing isn’t complete yet, but sometimes they’ll say it’s safe to go ahead.

Definitely don’t just skip Prolia on your own. Stopping suddenly without a plan can make bones weaker and raise the risk of fractures.

So bottom line: you’re probably close to healed, but since your chin still feels off, it’s smart to get both your dentist and prescribing doctor in the loop before taking the shot.
