Dental tourism has surged in recent years, with Turkey becoming the top destination for those seeking a dazzling smile. The term 'Turkey teeth' has even emerged to describe this trend. However, a dentist has explained why people who go abroad for veneers are unlikely to keep their teeth for life. The specialist warns that procedures performed in foreign clinics may pose long-term health risks, despite initially seeming attractive due to lower costs. Unfortunately, the specific reasons behind these dangers were not disclosed in the source, but the expert's message is clear – before opting for cheaper treatment abroad, one should carefully consider the potential consequences.
