When I talk to my friends I can see their eyes drift toward my teeth trying to figure out what is going on with them. I am bulimic but I haven\u2019t told anyone other than my husband and sister. This has been going on for 7 years or so. I am in therapy and have been event free for 5 months. I was hoping that time would improve the look of my teeth but they still look horrible and are very weak. Have I messed up my teeth for life? I know I am going to have to face a dentist one day I just want to know if there is anything that can be done. Thanks Krissie<\/p>\n

Krissie \u2013 There are many patients with eating disorders who are in recovery and have their teeth successfully restored by cosmetic dentists.<\/p>\n

Although your teeth need to be examined by a dentist, it is safe to say that your chances of getting a beautiful smile are very good. There are several options for restoring teeth, but the treatment that is best for you depends on your case and the condition of your teeth.<\/p>\n

Porcelain crowns cover and protect damaged teeth, porcelain veneers, conceal the front only of your natural teeth, and dental implants restore missing teeth or teeth that are too severely damaged to be saved.<\/p>\n

Your comfort during the process is important. Without disclosing details about your eating disorder, you can request consultations<\/a> with a few cosmetic dentists to find one with whom you are comfortable for the journey of restoring your smile. Keep in mind that upon examining your teeth, a skilled dentist is able to discern that an eating disorder is the cause of the damage to your teeth. So don\u2019t be surprised by that. Continue your conversation and ask questions about treatment options to find a dentist that is right for you.<\/p>\n

Best wishes on a progressive recovery.<\/p>\n
