Purging is ruining my teeeeth ?!?!?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I was bulimic for 30+ years. Trust me your teeth are being ruined. The enamel you are stripping cannot be put back. Stop now please. I ruined my teeth by purging and I now do not have any of my natural teeth but had to have them all pulled. I have dental implants but trust me they are nothing as wonderful as your own natural teeth. Plus purging will harm you in many ways and it really doesn't help with weight loss.

Trust me I understand all about purging. I often felt that if I couldn't control my circumstances I could control my weight and was totally in denial that this was not the way to control anything.

Yes, of course it will happen, pet. You know it's not good for your health generally to do this to yourself.

Your stomach acids are designed to break food down, so it's a given that they will damage your teeth, your mouth and your oesophagus. The action of purging also puts stress on your heart, and it's not good for your blood sugar levels either.

There are other ways to control your weight, dear, much healthier, safer ways that don't damage your health like purging does.

I'm glad you're getting help with this.

I'm assuring you that telling you that you're acting like an idiot is being nice in this context.

The white strips are already hard on your teeth enamel, and the puking only makes it worse. But even if you stopped using them, there is unfortunately nothing that you can do to prevent damage to your teeth apart from quitting this stupid behavior. Puking right after you ate won't change anything.

You definitely need more help, even if it means that you have to stay at the hospital for a while. Of course it won't happen if you don't seriously want to make an effort ... and I honestly don't think that seeking ways to continue to make yourself throw up indicates that you want to make things change for the better.

Right after you vomit, rinse, rinse, rinse you mouth with the warmest water possible. It may help get rid of the acid, but I've seen gals that I knew were doing the same thing and their teeth are all rotten. I would rather be heavy with nice teeth, and skinny with bad teeth. Remember LOTS of regular men like, love women with a little meat on their bones. It is the truth.

Been around.

It will ruin your teeth. Acid will come up if you vomit, wether it be straight after eating or not. They wont stay healthy if you are vomiting. Simple as.
