As GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro continue to surge in popularity for weight loss and blood sugar management, Dr. Pia Lieb, founder of Cosmetic Dentistry Center NYC, raises the alarm over their contributions to the sudden and severe deterioration in patients’ oral health.
Informally referred to as “Ozempic teeth,” this phenomenon includes a troubling range of issues. Ranging from minor to severe, these issues include tooth sensitivity, dry mouth, rapid tooth decay, gum recession and inflammation, tooth fractures or cracks, tooth loss, and accelerated enamel erosion. According to Dr. Pia Lieb, ozempic teeth might sound catchy, but having such teeth indicates poor oral health care.
Dr. Lieb, a leading cosmetic dentist New York patients trust for expert care, has been at the forefront of cosmetic and restorative dental care for more than two decades. She explains that many of the symptoms associated with Ozempic teeth stem from a combination of systemic, dietary, and behavioral factors. These include nutritional deficiencies, reduced saliva production, vomiting and acid reflux, and poor oral hygiene. GP-1 medications also cause systemic inflammation and hormonal shifts, contributing to developing Ozempic teeth. Moreover, without adequate saliva to neutralize acids and protect teeth, patients’ mouths quickly become vulnerable to decay, enamel erosion, gum recession, and fractures.
“Patients come in with complaints of loose teeth, new sensitivity, or enamel that’s thinning,” Dr. Lieb explains. “In some cases, they haven’t even made the connection between their medication and their dental decline.”
She emphasizes that preventative strategies are crucial. Patients using GLP-1 medications should stay hydrated, follow a nutrient-dense diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, and avoid highly acidic foods and beverages. Prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste and regular dental cleanings—preferably every three to four months—can also help mitigate damage.
The Cosmetic Dentistry Center NYC - Dr Pia Lieb, located in the heart of Manhattan, has built its reputation on aesthetic expertise and advanced diagnostics. The practice offers a range of services including smile makeovers, porcelain veneers, invisible braces, full-mouth reconstruction, and digital smile design. With a private spa-like environment and concierge-level attention, the clinic provides patients with luxury cosmetic care grounded in personalized science.
Dr. Lieb collaborates with a network of healthcare professionals and tailors each treatment plan to address both oral and systemic health. She also uses advanced digital technology for smile simulations and minimally invasive procedures.
Dr. Lieb, however, highlights that cosmetic restoration is not always a simple fix. Once the enamel is gone or a tooth is lost, patients must receive costly procedures like veneers, crowns, or implants. That’s why her clinic emphasizes detection and intervention to patients during their checkups.
As more people turn to GLP-1 medications to meet their weight goals, the esteemed dentist urges them to remain vigilant about their oral health. Her message is clear—don’t let dental consequences become a hidden cost of weight loss.
