I’m probably making too much of this

[Harrythomas14]

I’m 20 years old, athletic, fit and have been binge eating for 5 years. I’m finally getting help with this and am determined not to make it a 6th year.

The amount of sugar I consume in these binges has had an effect on my teeth; they feel worn a great deal of the time, even though I eat a relatively low sugar diet the rest of the time (these binges happen once a fortnight or so, but used to happen around 2-3 times per week).

Like I say, I’m getting help for this, but I don’t know what else I can do for my teeth in the meantime; I barely drink, I floss and brush twice a day, mouthwashing on and off, and I only drink water.

I’m a very anxious person when it comes to my appearance, my teeth being no exception - feel like I’m spinning my wheels here...any 2 cents would be appreciated.

Thanks

Harry

Hi to the forum.

You sound as if you are doing all the right things. The only other thing I can suggest is to floss with an easy glide floss or use interdental brushes to get inbetween your teeth.

Merry Christmas and all the best

Yep, all sounds good to me! Only one other thing I would say is cut down on snacking as this interrupts the teeth's progress combating decay. Or something along those lines. But seriously though.

Merry christmas!
