Hi RN 80, welcome and thanks for your question.  I really have no idea if Evista would effect a problem like this.  Have you asked your dentist or oral surgeon this question?

 

Here's the patient literature on Evista that explains the type of medication it is, how it works and what the side effects are.  I've never heard of a SERM causing this type of growth, but I would definitely ask your dentist this question.

 

Good luck finding out what is making this worse.
