Q: Question On Bulimia's Affect On Teeth And Ovaries

I'm new to this forum, sorry if my questions seem redundant. I've been bulimic since I was twelve--so....About thirteen years--there hasn't been a single day I haven't thrown up. Granted, some days are worse than others. I'm 5' 1" between 95-100 lbs. Now, I have two questions:

1) i'm extremely worried about the whole teeth thing. My dentist finally asked me if i've ever had an eating disorder. Admittedly, I nodded. My front four teeth have gotten so thin and fragile, they're beginning to be translucent at the bottoms. Can I have caps put on them or a porcelain coating as they do for chipped teeth? Or would this not help?

2) does anyone know if bulimia affects the ovaries or eggs? I have regular periods, but am not sure how my ed might affect my embryos.
I'm sorry this is a long entry, but i'm really stuck. I appreciate any and all feedback.
