00:00Exploring Reports of Tooth Issues Linked to Ozempic Use
00:04Ozempic is a drug that is prescribed to treat people diagnosed with diabetes.
00:10However, many people have been taking it for other off-label purposes, such as for weight loss.
00:16Yet, this drug has proven to be linked to a range of ever-growing side effects.
00:21The newest reported phenomenon that has healthcare experts concerned is called Ozempic teeth.
00:30In 2024, 5% of UK residents used GLP-1 receptor agonists, like Ozempic, Wegevee, and Mounjaro.
00:40These mimic natural hormones, slowing digestion and promoting weight loss,
00:45but are linked to several undesirable side effects, raising health concerns.
00:54Despite awareness of side effects like hypoglycemia, Ozempic use persists.
01:00New concerns arise with Ozempic teeth, a condition linked to dental issues such as gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay,
01:08questioning its worthiness despite known risks.
01:14Currently, no clinical evidence directly links Ozempic to dental issues.
01:20The correlations with tooth decay are emerging.
01:23Dentists observe increasing dental problems among users.
01:26Ozempic reduces saliva production, compromising oral health.
01:31Side effects like vomiting can exacerbate tooth damage due to stomach acidity.
01:39If considering Ozempic, note the rising reports of side effects, often missing from the leaflet.
01:45Acid reflux, a labeled side effect, increases acid, potentially eroding teeth.
01:51Users frequently report dry mouth and dehydration.
01:55These issues underline the importance of being informed about the drug's full impact on health.
02:04Insufficient water intake can lead to bacteria staying in the mouth, causing halitosis and bad breath.
02:11Brushing after meals and staying hydrated ensures oral health maintenance.
