How Can An Infected Jawbone Be Treated?

Have been on Prolia for over 2 years and recently was informed that I have a major problem with bone jaw infection and bone loss. Was totally surprised when the Doctor told me it was a result of Prolia. Is there any natural alternative. He informed me I need to have one of my front teeth removed and also need to get on Penicillen asap.

Penicillan IS a natural alternative since it is grown in a big vat like yogurt or cheese or beer. The thing is that if it is an infected bone you need a lot of antibiotics for a long time. Cannot say in your particular case. infected teeth or gums or other structures going into the jaw is quite common and if untreated will be very bad or fatal.
Loss of bone with prolia is far less common. Tends to be in a very different pattern (all over) than infection (one bad spot with spread).
