Bulimia research question about teeth05/27/2008 |
How does bulimia affect the teeth? Do your teeth fall out? How do dentists treat the problems?
Bulimia nervosa can impact one's teeth if a person experiences purging by self-induced vomiting. This can significantly erode the enamel of one's teeth, causing teeth to decay and erode away, requiring significant dental work to recap the teeth.
