My Bulimia Nervosa Rotted My Teeth 

Hi I’m Debbie Williams, the owner of  www.stopbulimia.co.uk website  – you probably know that constantly throwing up your food causes damage to your teeth, but you may not realise the process of degeneration can continue even after stopping bulimia, as it did for me. You can see in my first photo slight greying of the one tooth as I smile the other side was the same and loads of back teeth had rotted and fell out.

Cost prohibits many people in the UK having cosmetic dentistry also fear of who to trust with the health of your teeth.So I’m writing this page after discovering of a wonderful dentist in Turkey – Olsum and you can see the results after her work is the second photograph.

My Bulimia caused my teeth to rot and continue to fall out  years after I'd stopped purging

Over the years we've made friends with people in Turkey and the first time I went to see Olsum I had a bridge put in plus a wisdom tooth removed for the sum of about £350. This built my confidence up as I was there with my friend Jan – who also was having all her teeth done – her hubby had his replaced 12 months earlier and they looked wonderful.
So for the next year I saved to go back – to have all my top teeth done and you can see the result – the front 6 cost £265ish each as they were the latest state of the art Hollywood teeth and all the back one’s cost approx £165 each including all bridges to fill the many gaps. So all in all with some discount (I could have chosen the option of all at £165 per tooth) I had them all for under £2000.

I was quoted £2000-£3000 just for a bridge to fill the gaps after a rotten tooth was removed by an English dentist, whilst on my maternity leave, which in the UK treatment is supposed to be free but they said "Oh no – you still have to pay for that, there is a lot of work to be done – it is expensive you know."

My Rotten Teeth replaced by Turkish Dentist

What I liked about Ozden, the Turkish dentist, her English is excellent, the dental practice is state of the art – also she gives you one tiny injection – lets it go numb in that area of the mouth – then more tiny ones injected into the numbness ½ inch along – so after the first little prick – you feel nothing- great if you have a needle phobia!!!
