My teeth are damaged due to bulimia, can you advise how to restore them?
Q.
Hello, I used to have lovely straight and pearly white teeth.People used to comment on them all of the time. But for the past couple of years I have suffered terribly from bulimia and my wisdom teeth are coming in.
My once beautiful teeth have discoloured, the enamel and actual teeth have worn down and my front teeth have had a few mm chiped off them too from the acid erosion.
This combined with my wisdom teeth moving and therefore overcrowding my bottom jaw is extremely distressing.
Im not sure what action I can take to improve my teeth and hopefully restore them visually to their former glory.Ofcourse, I have stopped vomiting, but the effects are still plain to see.

Dear Enquirer,
You poor thing…it is quite distressing when patients suffer with this condition,as the acid really does do it’s damage.
The good news is that your teeth can be restored to their former glory, I treat patients that have had tooth wear due to many reasons and they are able to gain their self confidence back. I would suggest you may need braces to correct the crookedness, but this stage may not be needed if we need to restore those teeth with porcelain as we would be able to correct the crookedness and improve the look by placing porcelain crowns/veneers on the teeth.
You are welcome to come and see me for a consultation if you are in the London area. My number is

All the best,
