i was bulimic and my teeth are terrible. i need to know my options for getting my teeth fixed, if they can be fixed. – O.

O. – Although the vomiting with bulimia can cause teeth to wear or chip, they can be beautifully restored. But it takes a skilled and experienced dentist to restore them properly.

Depending on the state of your teeth, a skilled cosmetic dentist will use porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, or a combination of both to give you a beautiful new smile. Your smile will be completely natural looking.

Find a dentist with extensive experience who is also accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. An accredited cosmetic dentist has completed continuing education classes, demanding clinical testing process, an oral test, and submitted documentation of his or her patient cases. You will be thrilled with your new smile. You will be able to find an accredited dentist with whom you can make financial arrangements, if needed, to restore your smile.

What’s the best way to whiten your teeth at home? Thanks Jamie

Jamie – Although many people use whitening strips or peroxide, the results will be limited.

If you want the most effective way to whiten your teeth at home, get a teeth whitening kit from your dentist.

The whitening from the dentist works better because the bleaching trays are custom made to fit your teeth. With the trays snugly fitting your teeth, the bleaching gel penetrates better. Also, your dentist will provide you with professional-strength bleaching gel that will get your teeth their whitest.

Another advantage of seeing a dentist for teeth whitening is that he or she will be able to determine if bleaching your teeth will whiten your teeth, or make the stains in them more noticeable. Depending on the cause of the stains in your teeth, whitening them may make matters worse.

If cost is a concern, speak with your dentist about your desire to whiten your teeth. You may be surprised at how your dentist can make take-home treatment affordable for you.
