Dental hygiene advice on the best proper care routine, techniques, and precautions for bulimics. it relapsesapproximately 5-7 days monthly; otherwise has a healthy diet.

See your dentist!: Bulimia has obvious detrimental consequences to the teeth. An electric toothbrush and a toothpaste like pronamel. Act mouth rinse is excellent at restoring some microscopic damage. A nightguard and/or Fluoride trays help too. Definitely take care when relapses occur as the damage gets multiplied when one brushes aggressively after vomiting. Of course, see a dentist to consider additional options.

Bulimia & Teeth: Please seek the care of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist who specialized in eating disorders to begin a path to overcoming this issue. But for the time being, rinse with water several times vigorously after an episode (do not brush), in order to wash away any of the acidic stomach fluids that may have bathed the teeth after regurgitating. Also as dr. Vela mentioned, rinse with act after.

Acid erosion: The big problem is acid erosion of the backs of the teeth from purging. Perhaps a baking soda rinse would be helpful. Avoid acidic foods. Don't brush for at least an hour after purging. Best advice would be to get professional help to resolve the problem.

Floride rinse: Bulimia is destructive to your teeth due to the high concentration of gastrointestinal acids that pass through the oral cavity. This lowers the ph of the area and causes destruction of enamel until the ph can be increased to a more neutral level. Using a Fluoride rinse like act! will help by increasing the ph at a more rapid rate than your saliva does naturally.
