In a world where more and more patients are on GLP-1 drugs for weight management dental practitioners need to be prepared to address dental side effects and possible complications in delivering dental care in these populations.

GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic are some of the most common drugs in the USA today. While they pose health benefits for patients needing them, they are not without risk and specific dental side effects/drawbacks.

Participants will learn:
