Abstract
Pica is an eating disorder characterized by compulsive eating of non-food items. It can present to dentists through patient medical histories, and also through causing atypical patterns of non-carious tooth surface loss. In highlighting two cases of pica presenting in general practice, we aim to raise awareness of this condition and its dental implications. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article advises on how pica may present to a general dentist and gives advice on management.
