Not taking care of your body and aging will take it's toll- scientific fact. You want a real explanation? See your dentist.

No one here can tell you just what is wrong with your teeth (unless there's a dentist on this forum and you pay them to fly out to your house with their tools).

yeh i feel my teehth have gotten worse,im too sacred to go to the dentist
theyv also becum more sensitive to things!!

My teeth got heaps whiter when I stopped purging everyday (I'd probably done it everyday for 4 years), and I also stopped drinking coffee and red wine, as well as use a whitening tooth paste.

Yeah, I am thankful I stopped purging because it will destroy your teeth, ever seen meth mouth, Its kinda like that, but it takes longer. I suggest seeing your denist and of course the acid from your stomach causes so many problems. good luck girl

I just lost another tooth two weeks ago today. That makes four now. They're all back teeth and its not like anyone can see that they're gone or anything..but it still sucks. Its just one of the consequences of a life long eating disorder. You play, you pay.

im 19, was 12 when i got bulimia and just lately my teeth hurt and are discoloured i hate it but i just cant stop

I've had my ED for 10 years now and just went to the dentist last week for the first time in 5 years. ED has distroyed my teeth and now I have to have a ton of work done on them done of over a series of vistits. There's so much damage it can't all be fixed at once. But I'm so glad that I went to the dentist and was open about my ED with him. The only thing that will stop the damage to your teeth is to to stop your ED. See your dentist asap. You don't even have to personaly tell them about your ED. I just wrote it on the new patient form so they knew but no one even talked to me personaly about it. Good Luck.

My teeth used to be white and straight. After 12 years of purging, I have gaps that never used to be there. My two front teeth have been capped many times. I have no enamel left at all and my teeth are constantly chipping...Its one of the worst things that have come out of this disorder for me.

my teeth are now really sensitive and ive been purging for 4 years...but im terrified bout goin to the dentist!!

I've been purging for 23 yrs, and it's definitely a very costly mistake! ALL my teeth have been affected, and they're all either filled, crowned, capped, or fake! But...it's better than being toothless. (And now, even my dental work is starting to suffer due to the acid.)

One of my teeth is slowly chipping away. But it's a wisdom tooth, so it doesn't matter.(kinda ironic, huh?) A couple of other teeth have been affected, but in the back, so no one knows! I'm too scared to go to the dentist though. More scared of the bill!

Had a friend in treatment who was 53. Bulimic for 22 years. She had dentures and couldn't eat anything unless it was steamed and mushed.

I know that I might get smashed into a million pieces by some people here for saying this but I am only posting it in the interest of harm-minimization - NOT as encouragement or a tip or trick to help maintain ED.
Washing your mouth out with baking soda dissolved in water after purgeing will help to neutralize the acid in your mouth somewhat - but not entirely and it will do nothing to stop the vicious damage that is being done to the esophagus and upper digestive system.

I have had the same problem with my teeth. In fact, several ove my molars have broken all the way to the to the gum line.I have been living on chicken broth for about 4 months because I can't chew food. I went to the dentist last month and he guessed right away that I was anorexic/bulimic. He told me to brush with sensodyne toothpaste and gave me a flouride rinse that I use on my teeth once a day. I have to leave it on my teeth for 20 minutes. It is starting to help alot.

definitely use the baking soda..and try to chew some antacids..never purge without them..also dont brush your teeth afterwards this rubs the acid into your teeth..use a mouthwash that strengthens enamel instead..and if you can manage to only purge 2or3 times at a go this helps to reduce the damage to your digestive system..swallowing the antacids will also help with this..im not trying to say you will be healthy if you do all this.. you will still be doing damage.. but its definitely better than nothing..
