I suffered from Bulimia my teeth are now in a bad way

Q. I suffered from Bulimia when in my teens, early 20s from which i have now thankfully recovered from. As a result it’s left my top front teeth (6 of them) in quite a bad way, the enamal from behind has all gone and they are quite sensitive. My dentist put some temporary cover on them last summer because i said they were abit sensitive but they chipped, fell away after a while. Im so worried that they are going to rot and fall out. What solutions are open for me? Would veneers be an option? Are they expensive? Having negative equity in a house sale and split from my husband i dont really have much money to play around with. I would talk to my dentist (nhs) about this but im abit embarrased to, they never really put me at ease and im really really scared of the dentist. Please would you be able to answer as soon as possible because im quite worried out this. Thank you for your time.

A. Hi

I would try to seek a second opinion on this as there are a lot of complicated issues to consider. Maybe you should seek advice from a dentist who you trust maybe a recommendation from a friend

I suffered from bullimia for several years and this has caused a lot of damage to my teeth. one or two at the back have decayed and fallen out, I have very short teeth at the front which have also been affected, are there any options available to me?
