My first dentist appointment after going on Wegovy, the hygienist wanted to know what I was doing differently with oral hygiene and when I told her nothing she called the dentist in to look because all the inflammation I’ve had for years was gone. The dentist asked if I was on a glp1 and when I told her I am she said they are seeing it fix chronic gum inflammation.

My gums bled every single day of my life since I was a child into my 40s. Since I've been on a GLP1 for a year, they don't bleed anymore.

It has greatly reduced my inflammation.

A colleague's wife is taking it for lupus. He said it's been very helpful.

This is a question for actual doctors.

It helps with inflammation. My back pain and leg pain (bad in the morning most days) went away going from 27 to 23 bmi. I feel physically as good as when I was 20 now.

Yes ask your doctor. My doctor mentioned in passing that this is a big research topic right now. Preliminary finding is that it does reduce inflammation and joint pain.
