Ive been bulimic on and off and ive have lost enamel on my teeth is this caused by vomiting?

Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have been bulimic on and off for a few years now. I have a huge fear of dentists but went last week. I was worried the dentist would be able to tell that I’m bulimic but he didn’t say anything, so does that mean he probably couldn’t tell? Also, I don’t think I have lost enamel on my teeth but my top, front teeth appear ‘see through’ at the bottom and have really bad brown stains on the back of them. Is this caused by vomiting or is it just inproper dental hygiene? I wanted nto ask my dentist if I was doing any damage (as I also need several fillings and a root canal) but I was too embarrassed. Thanks for your help.

I have been bulimic for many years is there any ways to preserve the natural tooth

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have been bulimic for many years, and although I have had several different treatments for recovery, I always fall back into purging at times of stress. I was wondering whether lumineers would be suitable for preventing damage to the underlying tooth? I understand that they would not last as long as usual, but anything to preserve the natural tooth would be ideal. I also understand that recovering fully from bulimia is the most preferable option, but please be sensitive to how difficult this is. My teeth have always been naturally straight, but although there is still a decent amount of tooth left they are definitely thinning. At the moment it is not bad but it is obviously going to become a problem in the future. Are there any other ways my denist could help protect them? Many, many thanks for your help!

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have an eating disorder anorexia/bulimia I have been self inducing myself to throw up for about 3 years… I know that this causes acid to basically deteriorate my insides.. but I for some reason think that what I have in my mouth is mouth cancer and not from the acid how do i know the difference.. I would like reassurance that its just the acid and not the C word so i can stop convincing myself that I’m dying so i can stop being so stressed about having something i do not so i can stop throwing up and finally start the healing process.. what is in my mouth is the front bottom teeth one front bottom tooth at gum line is receding and has a couple sores around it, it hurts, and i already have a chipped front tooth, also the back of my mouth where there is free space behind my last set of teeth seems to be raw but dry and cracked.. please i am begging to know what you think…i know i need professional help but your input and time taken to respond would be greatly be appreciated… thank you..

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

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
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.
