Both: Both anorexia and bulimia are detrimental to good oral health. Patients with both disorders tend to purge after eating by self-induced vomiting. The stomach acids expelled during vomiting will eat away at the enamel of the teeth, leaving it thin and susceptible to fracture. Both anorexia and bulimia are psychological disorders and should be treated through therapy.

Both bad: Anorexia will kill you, bulimia will destroy your teeth. Poor food intake will also affect the health of the mouth and supporting structures for your teeth. See a therapist for help. Good luck.

No difference: Bad breath, sensitive teeth and tooth erosion are just a few of the signs that dentists use to determine whether a patient suffers from an eating disorder. If you suffer from an eating disorder, it's important to talk to your PCP for an assessment and treatment options. .
