Recovering Bulimic Gets Stunning Dental Makeover
After more than 20 years as a bulimic, Samantha suffered from several physical problems, the worst being her extensive oral damage. Her teeth and jaw would hurt; her gums would bleed; and her enamel was being eaten away by the acid from purging. At 35 years old, Samantha didn’t want to live with the pain and unsightly appearance anymore, so she turned to Dr. Willardsen.

Hope for Teeth Grinding
Can injections cure teeth grinding? Dr. Willardsen revealed on The Doctors there is hope in this medical claim.
