So how do eating disorders affect your oral health? Your mouth and gums needs proper nutrition to keep the whole picture healthy. Without this, your mouth may easily bleed, your glands may swell, or you could experience chronic dry mouth.
The constant vomiting can also cause harm to your teeth. When stomach acids constantly touch the teeth, the tooth enamel can be damaged and the teeth can change shape and color. The teeth can also become weak and thin causing them to break. Certain foods may also cause the teeth to become sensitive to hot or cold.
If you have an eating disorder, or know someone who does, you should consult with your dentist about any suggested treatment. Seeing your dentist regularly is important to stay on top of any potential dental treatment.

Did you know that roughly 10 million Americans currently suffer from eating disorders? Eating disorders tend to be more common in teenage girls young woman, but anyone can suffer from the disorder. Those with eating disorders can be seriously injured from the complications it can cause the body, but a person’s oral health can also be affected by the disorder.
The two eating disorders we will discuss will be bulimia and anorexia. People with bulimia have a constant worry and fear of being overweight. They can also suffer from periods of binge eating. After the binge, the individual usually feels very weak and out of control. They may try to make things better by throwing up what they have just eaten.
People with anorexia usually have a fear or gaining weight or a constant dread of being fat. These individuals can be very thin yet they still see themselves as overweight. People with anorexia may exercise excessively and limit themselves to a very small amount of calories per day.
But how do these eating disorders affect your oral health? Read our blog later this week to find out!
