Eating Disorders Associated With Poor Oral Health
Eating disorders are linked to a number of health complications, including oral problems.
Key takeaways:
- Eating disorders can cause severe and irreversible damage in the mouth.
- Highly corrosive stomach contents in vomit will cause erosion of tooth enamel which leads to sensitive and brittle teeth and makes them vulnerable to decay.
- Failure to get the required nutrients such as iron and vitamin B will lead to canker sores and bad breath
