One of the hidden risks of prolonged eating disorders is a decalcification (perimylolysis) of teeth or thinning of tooth enamel. Teeth may become so eroded (rotten, decayed) that they will have to be removed. The constant onslaught of (gastric) stomach acid due to vomiting or regurgitation is a breeding ground for gum disease and tooth decay. Anorexia and bulimia can be very similar in that both may involve induced vomiting.
