I was advised when visiting my dentist recently that hormone replacement therapy (one injection) can improve bone density. Has anyone taken this option and what were the results?

| I'd want a lot more information than that before acting on what your dentist said. HRT seems to have fallen out of favour as an OP remedy. That doesn't mean there are no benefits. However, I can't imagine that a one-off injection would do much for anyone.

If there was one injection - with no side effects - that would increase bone density then I'd be on it! I think your dentist is not really all that knowledgeable about OP!
