A member asked:

I have bulimia question: tooth enamel loss, what to do?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Bulimia : The acids from vomiting are eroding your teeth and will continue to do this as long as you are bulimic. Get help asap. It is difficult but you are worth it. Your teeth can be fixed once you are in control. Good luck.

Bulemia: I hope you are seeing a professional to help you with treatment and recovery. See a dentist and be honest with your problem. We are here to help in any way we can. There are many methods to repair or restore your teeth and the treatment depends upon the degree and extent of tooth destruction. Good luck and best wishes!

Treatment: You need to contact someone to treat the cause of the bulemia. I have treated several and the teeth most affected are the upper anteriors as the hydrochloric acid in te vomit comes across the palate and the front teeth and burns the tissue and the lingual enamel of the front teeth. There is a major treatment center in Highland Park, Illinois.
