Bulimia Teeth. What to Do? (photo)

Question

How bad is it?? Will they all need replaced? How can I stop the eroding and improve my enamel and the appearance from this point? I am in recovery and I am overwhelmed by how I have destroyed my teeth. I am a college student without insurance. My teeth are sharp, jagged, cracked, have craters, and just look terrible.

It is great to hear you are in recovery from bulimia.  Take it one step at a time.  Go to a dentist who is kind and can review your immediate needs, if any, and a treatment plan that helps you move forward.  Do not get nervous.  There are many things to do but most important is to take care of your self.  You can get mouth guards to use to prevent more wear, can fix broken teeth and cavities and eventually rebuild and improve your bite if needed.  Congratulations!!!
