During recovery, it is difficult to immediately cease binging and purging behavior. That being said, there are some steps that you can take at home to help reduce the damage to your teeth and oral health. These include:
- Avoid tooth brushing after vomiting
- Rinse the mouth with water or fluoride solution after binging
- Regularly brush teeth with fluoride toothpaste (outside of vomiting episodes)
- Floss teeth daily
- Have regular dentist visits for regular dental care
- Drink more water regularly
- Avoid consuming sugary drinks and foods
- Chewing sugar-free gum
