DENTAL ADVICE
Do not brush teeth immediately after vomiting, especially with harsh toothpastes as this causes more damage and accelerates the m erosion of the surface of enamel.
DENTAL ADVICE FOR PATIENTS WITH EATING DISORDERS
Chewing sugar free chewing gum after meals can help to stimulate saliva production and reverse the effects of a dry mouth.
Many studies support the hypothesis that the consumption of cheese or milk reduces the effects of acid on enamel.
Meticulous home care, thorough brushing, flossing, and possible at-home fluoride treatments are necessary.
Temporary appliance such as mouth guards may be recommended to prevent additional wear.
Refer to physician.
