Hi Linda,

Thank you for your question. I would recommend discussing this with both your doctor and your dentist. I have not found any information that advises discontinuation of Forteo for dental procedure, but your doctor and/or dentist should know more about your situation and be better suited to answer your question.

Best of luck,

Casey
