How Bulimia Affects Teeth
In bulimics who purge, the enamel layer of teeth is often stripped. When this happens, the teeth are weakened and become more susceptible to damage and decay. Because tooth enamel is the body’s only tissue that cannot regenerate, bulimia teeth is a condition that must be addressed with in-office dental care. To restore damaged enamel and tooth decay from bulimia, Dr. McKay and his team create a comprehensive plan of care—often in collaboration with other care providers in your circle—to support physical health, restore oral function, and support well-being, as well as self-confidence with a beautiful smile.
