Can bulimia cause periodontal disease?

Bulimia : Bulimia generally does not "cause" periodontal disease.. But it can cause many other oral problems, , including gindival irritation, and chemical burns (due to chronic contact with stomach acids) .. Also, the vey same issue (stomach acid in the mouth) can severely destruct the internal/lingual surfaces of the teeth, causing major damages to the integrity of the tooth structure as well..

Bulimia/perio: A result of bumilia is more likely decay of the teeth the mouth is exposed to excess acid. However, if the gum tissue is exposed to acid over time, it can become irrritated(gingivitis)if not treated, a progression of bacteria under the gum line can result in bone loss(periodontitis).

NUTRITION: Bulimia does not cause periodontal disease, but the gum tissue needs good nutrition and clean environment to stay healthy, and avoid getting periodontal disease. When you are bulimic, you often lack proper nutrition, which puts the gum health at risk. You often have an acidic mouth from vomiting; acidic mouth helps bad bacteria to grow faster, helping the gum disease to spread faster.
