Many health effects: Bulimia impacts health in many ways, including electrolyte imbalance which can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and death, esophageal inflammation ; tears, swollen salivary glands, and more. Depression often accompanies this condition. The good news: it can be treated. For a more inclusive run-down: http://tinyurl.Com/mm5s4m5 and http://tinyurl.Com/34sc4p the effects go far beyond teeth.

Bulemia: When you are purging (vomiting) besides acidic erosion on your teeth- it usually concentrates on the back of the front teeth that make them more sensitive and you change your chewing patterns- larger food intake can affect your stomach and cause problems in digestion. Brushing can be sensitive and you may avoid cleaning the teeth properly.
