@danithepa: You may have seen the phrase “Oz. teeth” trending online… let’s pause there. There is no recognized medical diagnosis by that name. And GLP-1 medications do not directly damage teeth. What can happen in some people, especially early on, is indirect. During the adjustment phase, some experience reflux, nausea, dry mouth, or changes in eating patterns. If stomach acid is repeatedly present in the mouth, or saliva production drops, enamel can become more vulnerable over time. That’s not the medication attacking teeth, it’s secondary physiology. The reassuring part? This is preventable and manageable. Simple habits matter: • Staying well hydrated • Maintaining consistent oral hygiene • Using fluoride support if recommended • Addressing reflux early Most people using GLP-1s do not develop dental damage. When symptoms are recognized and managed, long-term issues are uncommon. Education only, not individual medical advice. If you’re noticing sensitivity, dry mouth, or reflux, loop in both your provider and your dentist. Early conversations protect long-term outcomes. Looking for a provider? I am taking new patients 😊 Comment BARKER for info 🫶 #fyp #womenshealth #metabolichealth #perimenopausehealth #healthcare
