Re: Dental care in eating disorder recovery - January 10th 2018, 01:45 AM

I can't find a lot of information about binge eating but I know that restricting can lead to a weakened jaw bone which can lead to damage/loss of teeth. Although, I feel like you kind of included that by mentioning nutrition because my understanding is that restricting leads to that issue because of lack of nutrients?

Unfortunately it seems like most information about this topic discusses purging.

One thing I remember being told is that after purging it's better to rinse with baking soda because it acts a neutralizer. I don't know how accurate that is but I know a ED therapist mentioned it to me...I know you mentioned not brushing so it probably doesn't need to be added.
