Radd breathing, damaged teeth and dry mouth

Ozmpic and Wegovy are welcomed as wonder drugs when it comes to weight loss. But with the use of the drug on a wider scale, a number of unintended side effects became clear-with a weight loss that affects the appearance of everything from your butt to Your feet.

“Ozimbi’s face” Other consequences are common to report the use of these common weights of weight loss. This is a steady or hollow appearance that the face can eat in people who take weight loss drugs. It can also increase signs of age – including lines, wrinkles and flabby skin.

This is caused by semaglutide ( Element In both OzemPIC and Wegovy) is not only a translator to act on the fat that we want to lose. Instead, it targets all body fats – including in its face.

But it is not just the appearance of your face, which is affected by the semules. These medications may also affect the mouth and teeth as well. These side effects may lead to permanent damage.

Dehydration

Semaglutide affects the salivary glands in the mouth. It does this by reducing saliva production (Hyper), Which can be in turn Dry mouth ((Xerostomia). This means that there is no saliva enough to keep the mouth wet.

It is not quite clear why this effect on the salivary glands. But in the animal studies of the drug, the medicine appears It makes saliva more clear. This means that there is a lower liquid to moisturize the mouth, causing dryness.

It can also Reducing water By influencing Regions in the brain Responsible for thirst. Low intake of fluids more Reduces saliva productionIt may even cause saliva Thick and fabricated And the tongue Become sticky.

Bad breathing

Another common effect is reported by Semaglutide users Bad breathing (Al -Falas). When there is fewer saliva flowing throughout Encourage bacteria Which contributes to bad breathing and Forming cavities To flourish. These include bacterial species Streptococcus Mutans And some breeds Lactobacillus.

Another type has proven to flourish in the circumstances in which saliva is reduced Porphumonas gums. These bacteria are a major contributor to the production of volatile sulfur compounds Cause unpleasant odors A trait of sample.

Another factor that may explain the cause of the causes of the poultry, which causes the same breathing, is that the least saliva that is produced means that the tongue has not been cleaned. This is the same reason that makes “morning breathing” very bad, because we naturally produce saliva at night. This allows bacteria to grow and produce odors. Case report photos I have shown that some people who take Semaglutide have a “Froed” appearance-such as or coated with their tongue. This indicates the accumulation of bacteria that contribute to bad breathing.

Damage

One Main side effects From OzemPIC it is Vomiting. Semaglutide slows down the speed of the stomach, which leads to a delay of digestion that can lead to bloating, nausea and vomiting.

Repeated vomiting He can Damage. This is because stomach acid consists primarily from Hydrochloric acidThe enamel enamel is eroded. Where vomiting occurs over a long period of months and years More damage will happen. the The surface of the back teeth (Sticky surface) closer to the tongue is more likely to see the damage – and this damage may not be clear to the canap.

Vomiting too Reduces the amount of liquid In the body. When associated with lower saliva production, this exposes teeth in a greater risk of damage. This is because saliva helps Neutralize That causes teeth damage.

Saliva also contributes to dental particles – a thin protective layer formed by saliva on the surface of the teeth. It’s thicker on Surface From the lower row of teeth. In people who produce saliva less, dental platforms It contains fewer mucins– A type of mucus that helps saliva Adherence to the teeth.

Reducing the risk of damage

If you take Semaglutide, there are many things that you can do to keep your mouth healthy.

Drinking drinking water regularly during the day can help prevent oral surfaces from drying. This helps to maintain normal Microbium orallyWhich can reduce the risk of increasing the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath and damage to the teeth.

Drinking a lot of water enables the body too Production of the required saliva To prevent dry mouth, perfectly the recommended daily quantity from six to eight cups. Sugar -free chewing gum is also a reasonable option as it helps to encourage saliva production. Swallowing this saliva keeps Valuable. Gum It contains eucalyptus It may help prevent schizophrenia, too.

There is some evidence that probiotics may help in this Reducing bad breathingAt least in the short term. Using a Probiotics supplements Or, foods rich in probiotics (such as yogurt or kefir) may be a good idea.

Practicing good Basic oral hygieneAnd toothbrush, reduce acid foods and Sugar drinks And use Mouthwash They all help protect your teeth as well.

Women Two times most likely To get side effects when taking GLP-1 receptors Symptoms of the digestive system Like vomiting. This may be due to the hormones of estrogen and progesterone, which can Changing bowel sensitivity. To avoid vomiting, try to eat smaller meals because the stomach remains full for a longer period while eating Smaglutide.

If you are sick, do not immediately spread your teeth because this will spread stomach acid on the surface of the teeth and increase the risk of damage. Instead, rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash to reduce the strength of the acid and wait at least 30 minutes before the brush.

It is not clear how long these side effects continue, it is possible that they disappear when stopping the drug, but any harm to the teeth is always. Intestinal side effects can last a few weeks, however They usually solve alone Unless a higher dose is taken.
