A dentist has warned of the dangers of travelling to Turkey for cosmetic dental work as many are lured by the cheap prices and all inclusive deals.
In what is dubbed as the 'Turkey Teeth' trend, a huge number of people across the UK have been travelling to the country in search of affordable dental treatments, reports Belfast Live.
Marketing techniques see companies offering all-inclusive packages which often include flights, hotels and all expenses paid, as well as a holiday.
But many professionals are warning there is a dangerous side to cosmetic phenomenon, including Dr Chris McAuley, a dentist at New Life Teeth in Belfast.
He says he has seen numerous cases of people returning from Turkey with significant issues.
“It’s not a good idea for a large number of reasons,” the dentist said.
“It’s worth stating that not all Turkish dentists are bad, but the ones that seem to be marketing and get their clientele from the UK and Ireland seem to be overly aggressive and in many instances the quality of the work is poor.
“These aren’t the best dentists in Turkey, the treatment mode and styles that they use are very aggressive.
“By drilling the tooth down so much, you put yourself at a very high risk of nerve death in the tooth due to the trauma of the drilling. This can result in pain, infection, needing root canals, needing teeth out and the risk of that is substantial.
“Most people going out there are going to get 20 or 24 teeth done, so the chances of one of those going wrong is extremely high.
“This amount of drilling to achieve these final results is completely unnecessary.”
