'Turkey Teeth' - bargain smile or big mistake?
A 大象传媒 investigation has found some people are being misinformed about the risks involved with a cosmetic dental treatment by bargain dental clinics in places like Turkey.
Love Island fans will remember the moment Jack Fincham burst onto the show in 2018 and proudly showed off his sparkly white teeth. But they鈥檙e weren't real. He admitted early on in the series that he鈥檇 gone to Turkey to get them done. And that week google searches for 鈥楾urkey Teeth鈥� spiked massively. Many young people now travel abroad to places like Turkey for the invasive cosmetic dental treatment searching for the perfect Instagram-worthy smile. 鈥楾urkey Teeth鈥� involves filing down someone鈥檚 natural tooth and adding a fake cap, or crown, on top. A 大象传媒 investigation has found some people are being misinformed about the risks involved with this cosmetic dental treatment by bargain dental clinics in Turkey. Often the treatment plan is organised entirely over Instagram after someone just sends a snap of their teeth to a clinic. While some have said they love their new smile and have regained their confidence - the procedure can cause major complications including infections, nerve damage and chronic pain, as Divya Talwar 鈥� investigative journalist for the 大象传媒 鈥� hears in this episode of 5 Minutes On.
