What should i do about my bulimia-affected teeth?

See your dentist: Patients with bulimia have special dental needs due severe enamel erosion and its effects. A dentist can recommend a home care program and address restorative needs for tour particular situation.

Talk to dentist: You need to be upfront with your dentist so they may fully understand your dental problems and formulate a treatment plan specific for you. They may want to construct custom easy to wear trays that you can fill with Fluoride or mipaste to help reduce the acid erosion of the enamel surface. You can also rinse with 1 tsp baking soda in warm water to neutralize acid.
