Nor did I Sherrie. It is a bummer indeed. And there are others on here with similar stories too. ☹️

I had PSC and a transplant. Subsequently have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis and been prescribed Calcium/Vitamin D and Alendronic Acid. My dentist said that a potential side effect of the Alendronic Acid was erosion of the jaw bone leading to loose teeth (although a very low risk). Regular dental check ups are important he said.
