(points go to who-ever gives me the info on a website link etc... not by you just typing what i want to here... i need to know the truth!) -- Posted by The Patekip at 3:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Depends, how long had you been doing it? -- Posted by maceyface at 3:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 english dentists don't know much of anything. -- Posted by freedom at 3:42 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Throwing up all the time eats away at all the enamel on your teeth. They same effect can be found with excessive drinking of fizzy drinks. Just put it down to that. -- Posted by Anonymous at 3:42 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from The Patekip at 11:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Depends, how long had you been doing it? a few months -- Posted by Tubbz at 3:43 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Dentists don't comment on it, they may recommend against it but shouldn't comment. -- Posted by flexidude09 at 3:43 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Ok Then I Research This And There Have Been Cases Of This But Not Alot. The Chance Are 5 Out Of 10000 -- Posted by blackbandaid at 3:43 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/bulimia_dental_care.htm I dunno if that's exactly what you're after but it relates. [and has info for bulimics about how to best take care of your teeth] -- Posted by Tubbz at 3:44 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Bulimia/Pages/ Questionstoaskaboutbulimia.aspx?url=Pages/ Questionstoasktab.aspx -- Posted by Jman19 at 3:44 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080415134009AAZAyhR Not specific to England, but: http://www.atlantadentist.com/bulimia_tooth_decay.html -- Posted by Tubbz at 3:45 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Sorry, remove spaces on above link, it wouldn't deal with it, over 100 chars. -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 9:55 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 The dentist shouldnt say anything to your mother They might comment something like 'oh, theres some erosion behing the front teeth' Mine said that but then he suggested that sugar was the cause... which was stupid because then mum made me eat less and reduce sugar. -- Posted by PVHSco08 at 9:02 am on Dec. 5, 2008 is there erosion or spots on your teeth? also, there may be sores in your mouth -- Posted by merryberrycherry at 4:12 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 I know you want a website link and everything but I want to reassure you that dentists in the UK don't think about that. Especially if you're in a private clinic. All they want is to clink around their metal spatulas and what not and earn a few pound. Trust me on this one I've had so much experience with both subjects it's unbelievable. If you have any more concerns..pm me x
