I am a dental hygienist and have seen patients who are bulimic and I have taken the time to discuss this with them. The mouth, body, and mind go hand and hand. It is often very easy to detect if a.) you know what you're looking for and b.) you ask the right questions WITHOUT being judgemental. To be quite honest the dentist I work for is clueless when it comes to this. Maybe, because it hits home for me I'm more observant, but the other full time hygienist in my office appears to be on top of this also. Maybe a new dentist is in order? First and foremost try to get the condition under control with therapy if you haven't already, then there are ways to protect your teeth from damage. I hope this helps, if I can answer any dental needs you have, please feel free to contact me. Kathy
