Will bulimia affect my vaneers?

Q. Im having vaneers put in but i also suffer from bulimia, will this affect the vaneers?

A. Hi Hayley many thanks for your enquiry, with the condition of bulimia it is common that the vomiting which is very acidic can erode the teeth. If the teeth have veneers in them this can effect the margins around the veneers and cause again more erosion around the tooth structure surrounding the veneers and subsequently cause the veneers to fail. I would recommend that your condition is first dealt with and once under control 360 veneers (full crowns) to protect the remaining tooth tissue may be advocated. Hope this is helpful.
