Dr Chris McAuley says he has seen numerous cases of people returning from Turkey with significant issues.
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.
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.“It’s not a good idea for a large number of reasons,” the dentist said. “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.
Dentists say they are seeing patients who have been to Turkey needing ‘crowns’ and ‘bridges’ replaced. Many practices won’t entertain a patient for fear of legal action in the UK. “If you have any issues with your treatment, you are a thousand miles away in the UK or Ireland and dentists here are very reluctant to take that kind of thing on, because the risk of litigation or being sued is so high.”
“That is the worst case scenario that I’ve seen, certainly those kind of people are extremely unlucky but that is how bad it can go.
