Question:
Any dentists out there?!?! help!?
I am trying to recover from years of bulimia but it has taken a major toll on my teeth. they are discolored and my two front teeth have two *faint* brown spots near my gums. sometimes my molars and canines ache when i eat although i cannot seem to find any cavaties or any reasons for this pain, The bottoms and surfaces of my teeth are ridged and near the bottom the enamel is transparent. I am petrified to go to the dentists but also i havent got the money to see one, I am panicing, I am only 19 years old! is there anything i can do to save my teeth?
*PLEASE SERIOUS RESPONSES ONLY*
Answers:
The answer to your question is fluoride. You can get different types of it. ACT is a rinse that you buy near the toothpaste. Or you can also go to the pharmacy and purchase phosphlur (it is non-prescription, but can only be purchased at the pharmacy).
Due to vomiting, the stomach acid ruins your enamel. The 2 main place for this is the molar area and the backs of the front teeth.
Fluoride can reminerilize the area that is weaken by stomach acid. It will make it stronger.
