Dental Treatment for Eating Disorders
Dental professionals are trained to identify signs of eating disorders.
Your dentist Kallangur will counsel you on poor oral health due to an eating disorder and may recommend psychological treatment. The dentist will also work to alleviate the mouth and teeth problems from which you are suffering.
Other dental procedures can include oral hygiene instruction, fluoride treatment plans, dry mouth remedies, treatment for sensitive teeth and frequent dental appointments to monitor your progress.
