Can you help me with anorexia nervosa?

Hello. Do you treat only people who have had bulimia or can you help people who have had anorexia nervosa as well? I had anorexia nervosa and NEVER vomited/purged, have always taken excellent care of my teeth but I have a lot of dental problems (even at the young age of 23) such as enamel erosion, tooth sensitivity, and am showing signs of gum disease. Can these be caused just by anorexia and malnutrition? I am now recovered and eat healthily but my teeth are showing the effects. Please let me know if you also treat people with anorexia nervosa, and if my dental issues could be related to this.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Leslie

Leslie,
Yes, we treat people with anorexia, too. Your dental problems aren’t as severe as those of people with bulimia, but they can be significant. We can help you with the tooth sensitivity and the gum disease, which could easily be related to your anorexia.

Depending on the severity of you gum disease, you may be a candidate for laser dentistry treatment.
