Listening to Radio 2 today (officially auld wummin material) and they were talking about the increasing number of folk travelling to Turkey for cosmetic dentistry that ends up going tits up.
Folk seem to think they're getting veneers when they're actually getting multiple crowns which often result in nerve damage requiring root canal treatment and then extraction.
Am sat here with my teeth like a witch Dr's necklace feeling awfy smug 
Do you feel sorry for them or think they're silly bastards for getting unnecessary procedures done and messing with otherwise healthy teeth? |

"They are silly bastards. My mate has recently took the same cosmetic trip. Everytime I look at him all I can see is Methadone Mick  "
Ha ha ha....poor guy.
A guy being interviewed was mortified because his teeth were so white.
He said he'd go on dates and try to disguise his smile with bread rolls |

I know folk that's went over for cosmetic surgeries in Turkey and raved about the cost and treatment they have received but not heard and dental procedures as yet..I think it's obviously the cost that's driving folk over there but why anyone would go to another country for any procedures and not investigate it throughly would be crazy! |

Yeah, does seem incredibly naive. Women on the show spoke about reps turning up at the hotels trying to sell it. Who the fuck trusts those people? They've moved on from time shares to flogging new body parts. |

Depends on the teeth. There was a guy on TV last week (some reality TV character) who had his done really young, even though there was nothing wrong them. That's something I would never do.
If people really have awful teeth and just don't feel confident speaking and smiling, I can see why they would go for it.
Hungary and Poland have fantastic dentists. I'd go for a clinic over there rather than Turkey. (Yeah I'm one of those people who would go for it when I have the money  Wouldn't go for super white teeth though, that just looks weird) x |

I think they are off their nut, but if they want to do that to themselves then fair enough. My issue is when it does do go tits up they expect the NHS to pick up the tab for trying to put it right, then complain that they are in pain and on a waiting list. Either take a trip back to Turkey to get it sorted or they should be charged as a private patient. They chose out of the love island book of body parts so they need to live with the results. Fk me theres a reason why it's so much cheaper there.  |

"Good cosmetic treatment is that which looks natural and not too obvious.
So if you're ugly, you go to Turkey and come back ugly "
If done well people say that looks good rather than what have you done! |

My dentist said only babies should have pure white gleaming teeth
When you see some of the states on TV I wonder why anyone would want to look like that |

My girlfriend is a dental nurse, and she says that over the years she's seen good and bad examples of Turkey Teef.
The thing that a lot of people don't realise is that the actual work isn't supported in the UK, and if you go to the Dentist with loose teeth, or in pain cause of them, they're likely to take them out and start afresh |

If I could afford to have my teeth fixed I’d do it here in the UK - why don’t these eejits just go private than go abroad…. Don’t they know that if it does tits up no dentist here will touch them, NHS or Private it was the same with overseas boob jobs |

I imagine there must be a considerable saving to take the risk. Same with gastric band surgery and the likes. |

Speaking as a dental professional I consult with a lot of patients for implant treatment & my advice when they throw savings into the chat by going abroad for complex cosmetic dental treatment. I always advise them to make sure they research clinic, surgeon & most importantly aftercare provision in the country they reside in by clinic that treated them. An informed decision!!
Buy cheap pay twice!!!
There are some exceptional highly skilled surgeons offering these treatments here & abroad & I've seen some beautiful results over the years.

Not quite dental but My friend got weight loss surgery abroad after a very lot of research. Wasn’t entitled to it on NHS and private in UK was so much money compared to abroad. They researched where to go etc so wasn’t just on a whim or by picking the cheapest as it wasn’t the cheapest place but was the best reviews etc. also isn’t entitled to any aftercare on NHS so has to pay privately for blood tests, any medication that is required from the op etc.
I think it can work getting procedures abroad if the individual researches enough but agreed, it doesn’t look natural and I don’t understand why people would do that to themselves. Research goes a long way like someone else has said Poland and somewhere else has good dentistry so would be best to go somewhere that has better reviews rather than the cheapest. Before my friend had this, I was against people going abroad for procedures. |

The phrase too good to be true springs to mind.
Be it a car,house, item or even cosmetic surgery.
If its too cheap there is always a flip side.
This isn't even considering the fact you could be left with constant agony hoping the NHS will be able to fit you in to repair , and I say repair the work done as they may well not do domestic work in that repair as they have to apply to the local authority to have it done.
I had a fear of the dentist for years thanks to the butchers they used to send to the school long ago...
Long story short I ended up having 8 sessions of root treatment, 7 crowns and an implant 5 years ago,paid for by me as nhs wouldn't cover it , which is fine.
Ended up with nice natural teeth and not like a cast extra from the Bee gees.
You couldn't pay me enough to travel to Turkey to let Dr nick from the simpsons Butcher me.

I too have a friend who went to Turkey after she was refused surgery in the uk .
After a lengthy chat with her gp who was the one who gave her the idea of looking at surgery abroad .
So after she done her research & spoke to other patients who had had the surgery done she decided on a clinic in Turkey .
I was her companion all through her journey there & can honestly say the treatment she received over there was amazing .
The clinic are in constant touch with her regarding her progress and they get updates on bloods & stuff.
Her Gp surgery back home have been fully supportive to her too and do her weigh-ins every month & bloods regularly .
The difference in costs compared to the uk I think is amazing !
For some it’s not all about vanity !!

I think weight loss is entirely different as there are obvious health implications.
When it's pure vanity, completely healthy teeth being filed down for cosmetic reasons, it's pretty fucking stupid in my opinion. Suppose it's just the times we live in though. |

So people who have drink or drugs related injuries or illnesses or obese people, people who smoke even should not be allowed to use NHS?
We all pay into the system, I recently had a gastric sleeve and I have lost 4st, prior I was pre diabetic, my a lupus and other illnesses greatly improved saving the NHS thousands. |

I had a toxic person on here tell me that I shouldn't have had my operation and treatment last year because I'm classed as slightly overweight.
Just glad they didn't tell me my Insulin should be stopped too |

It’s an interesting one because one of ways the NHS is quietly being privatised is this way and it’s happening fastest in dentistry. Less and less is covered and we’re heading towards a situation where all that will be covered is checkups and extractions, everything else private - where do you draw the line?
But for turkey teeth, I’m not sure that “we can extract them or fix them privately” is a great orally bad approach, is there a differentiation between “self inflicted” and “vanity inflicted” ? |

So...if someone had a boob job and say it burst in the middle if the night..would A&E send them away? I think not..I'm sure if you got your teeth done abroad and then it went wrong I seriously doubt a dentist would turn you away? Yes you would have to pay but everyone pays now for their dentist? |

How much you pay depends on whether it’s private or NhS procedure though, can be a huge difference.
Yes the NHS should remove a burst breast implant. Much like if turkey teeth leave you in pain the dentist will do an extraction at NHS rates.
Whether they replace the BI (or the teeth) and should there be a charge levied after the fact is an interesting one - I suppose we would need some sort of guarantee system in place - work done by NHS approved surgeons is “guaranteed” by the NHS - if you take the cheap option, the financial risk is on you. |

Don't believe that is what was ment.
Nhs is a treatment point for health conditions for all.
Period.
What this was in relation to was a genuine concern that people undergoing cosmetic treatments on the cheap fot no medical reason MAY then have to have NHS funded intervention to correct future problems.
Entirely different.
No one is suggestion anything about NHS need vrs wish related treatments.

Playing devils advocate, So I can go to the cheapest backstreet boob surgeon, get the shittiest boob job going for a grand or so, safe in the knowledge that the great British tax payer will bail me out to the tune of £30k and when my boob falls off, delaying old mrs Hubbards knee replacement at the same time: is that fair and reasonable? |

I have a ‘friend’ who has a ‘friend’ that had a gastric sleeve in Turkey then had a weeks recovery at Lara beach. Now this friend of a friend is saying their friend had it done and she was their friends companion. 
It’s blooming catching!

I know of six women in the last six months who have went to turkey and had it done and so far the aftercare seems to be really good, I have another friend who just had hers renewed in Belgium by one of the top gastric surgeons in Europe, she holds the record for the longest lasting gastric band to date having had it a whopping 15plus years, it finally gave up the ghost after new year
They all seem to very much have the same aftercare and encouraged to join groups of people who have had it done the same time as them to share any issues problems and results
I say fair play to them if it makes for a healthier lifestyle and long term health benefits, if I had the cash I’d be up for it |
