A WOMAN who has had not just one, but two sets of Turkey teeth, is now warning others against the procedure.
Lisa Martyn, 51, from Ireland, claimed that not only was she left “botched”, but she’s also lost count of how many root canal procedures she has had, all of which have been at a huge expense to her.

Now, Lisa is on a mission to share the reality behind the popular procedure, as she claimed that in just six years time, before she is 60, she will have no choice but to have dentures.
Posting on social media, the content creator got candid about her situation, as she said: “I haven’t spoken about it in a long time, but there are people flocking to Turkey to get their teeth done – lads, it’s not a good idea.
“You can never again have a filling because all these teeth are connected, so the only treatments available to you are root canal treatments – I have lost count how many root canal treatments I’ve had done, at a cost to myself.
“They all do the same thing – botch you and once you do it, there’s no going back.”
Lisa explained that she had her first set of Turkey teeth for 11 years and then, in 2021, she had her second set fitted.
She recognised that veneers should generally be replaced every 10 years, meaning that in six years, she will need to have them removed.
However, she expressed that she has made the decision that when the time comes, she is going to get dentures, as she stressed: “Because I fangs underneath, there aren’t many options for me, and it’s gonna be a financial cost to myself.”
Lisa also claimed that when you have veneers, you mustn’t ignore any pains, as infections can spread and affect other parts of your body.
Now, Lisa has educated herself on the dangers of getting veneers in Turkey and questioned why she ever thought it was a good idea.
Whilst she believes they “look lovely”, she stressed that her “gums are receding”, which brings up its own complications.
Not only this, but she explained: “I can tell you now if you have trouble – you’ve got to pay for your own flight, you’ve got to pay for your own accommodation – the cost of everything now at the moment is just so high.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lisamartyn883, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 71,400 views, 912 likes and 126 comments.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

This is such honest advice on travelling to Turkey for treatment. It’s so risky and people don’t realise the long term implications

A third commented: “Well done for sharing and being truthful! It hurts my heart to see so many people going and having it done and at such a young age too!”
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “This is such honest advice on travelling to Turkey for treatment. It’s so risky and people don’t realise the long term implications.”
Not only this, but another user explained: “I’ve lost all my top teeth because of going to Turkey!! I wish people would listen.”
