going to the dentist..
| Tue, 07-10-2007 - 7:37pm |
I had some issues off and on with bulimia. I did a really good job of keeping it secret, not a soul has any knowledge of my problem. I was doing it about 2-3 times per day off and on (average episode lasted about 1-2 months) for about 2-3 years. Now I am better, I have only done it once in about 6 months. This entire time I have been terrified to go to the dentist for fear of them knowing I have done this. I really would like to go. Does anyone know if the dentist would be able to tell the minor staining I have on my teeth is from bulimia or would I be able to blame it on something else, like coffee? I am incredibly self-conscious about the stains so I would really like to get my teeth bleached. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Regardless, GET TO THE DENTIST, before you have thousands of dollars of work that needs to be done, like I did.
Good Luck and God Bless!!!
P.S.--If you need more work than you can afford, ask your dentist about Care Credit. It carries a 0% interest for one year and the year starts when each individual piece of work is done, so it can be staggered throughout the year.
I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this discussion.
