How does bulimia affect your Salivary glands?

Bulimia does not affect the Salivary glands directly. However, it can cause dry mouth as a side effect due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance caused by the purging behaviors associated with the disorder. Prolonged and severe bulimia can lead to various dental problems, including erosion of tooth enamel due to the acidic content of vomit, and salivary glands may be indirectly affected by these complications.
