Please talk to your parents. That is the only suggestion I can give you, it is not just your teeth, if you are bulimic, get help, go to mental health if you need to, it can mess up your whole system esophagus, etc., etc., I am no dr but please get help and do not be ashamed to ask as we all need help sometime in our lives!

Well, I am in no way ashammed of my bulimia though. I am just wondering. Yeah it is a hard thing to do (tell your parents) I just need a lil time to do that I am at the point of getting help but I just am wondering about that though.

im bulimic i eat a lot of food i can't control my self with food but i am to scared to throw up because i know what it does to me and it hurts what do i do?

go to your doctor and if they dont help go to another one and another one till they do.

usually you will need to be bulimic for between 1-3 years for coonsiderable enamel erosion to occcur. if there is a small amount it could be put down to acid refulx or poor diet (to much soft drink).
bulimics have a significant pattern that occurs only on the back teeth and wears them down, evenntually forming cavities. there will also be marks on hands, swollen glands andsometimes red marks on cheeks near back teeth for them to spot.

dentist are trained to spot these symptoms and usually will just talk to you about whether you are getting help (up to you if your honest or not)
they are not as concered in your eating disorder as they are in your teeth.

the bests things you can do are to brush teeth BEFORE purging. then drink lots of water between purges and rinse mouth out. you can use baking soda, or tums to neturalise acid after purging but do not brush as this can push acid into gums and cause futher damage.

the best option for healthy teeth is to seek help, wether medically, or counselling or just confiding in someone.
