Well bulimia starts rotting your teeth
from the time you start. People will not
ntice3 them probably but your dentist
will. After years one day you will notice
a change too and then it will be too late
to do anything.
Your dentist may recognize it by the back
of your throat more than your teeth maybe.

Teeth & Bulimia Posted: 05-07-05 21:58pm
I guess it depends on how often you throw
up & whether you brush right after. I
was bulimic for years & never had a
problem with wearing down teeth.
But bulimia does cause osteoporosis, which
is when your bones & teeth don't get
enough calcium. So your teeth &
jawbone get hollow & your teeth fall
out before you are very old. I knew a
47-year-old bulimic who had false teeth
because of that.
So please try to get help so you can stop
this very harmful behavior! There are so
many reasons to quit!!!

Your enamel is tough. Super tough.
The crystal (whiteness of your teeth) will
be desyroyed by the hydrochloric acids in
your stomach, then the yellowness appears
then after that, blackness.
Takes approx 2.5 years before your enamel
is lost with purging 3 times a week.
