Scots woman who spent £3k on 'Turkey teeth' given serious warning by her dentist

A Scots woman trolled after spending £3,000 to get her teeth done in Turkey has been given a serious warning from her dentist.

Jak Reid, from Paisley, documented her travel abroad for the cosmetic work on TikTok, with critics branding her "silly' and a "wee girl" with "no brain".

After flying back home and visiting her dentist, she was told that 'a lot of tissue' had been removed and that she would have to get 'implants' if a problem were to arise with the 22 zirconium crowns she had put in, Birmingham Live reports.

Jak has also refused to name the practice where she underwent the procedure, due to the 'treatment' she and her friend received while in Turkey.

She claims that they were put into a 'dusty old hotel' as opposed to the '5 star luxury hotel' they had been promised before booking, with the company also 'changing the price to suit themselves'

The two woman were also allegedly told to bring cash or facing being charged ten percent more, with their accounts then ending up being blocked while they tried to transfer the funds.

Jak added that there was 'no in depth consultation' before the procedure, and that the dentist was 'numbing us and drilling' within just 45 mins of their arrival at the practice.

Despite the hate she has received and issues while abroad, Jak says that she 'loves' her new smile and that she 'knew the risks' before committing to the procedure.

She was told by a dentist: “I’m just going to say this, I know you’re not going to want to hear this. A lot of tissue’s been removed here… there’s not much else you can go from here apart from implants.”

“This was my lovely dentist giving me advice, my teeth are fine. I knew going into this the risks,” she said.

"I’ve had veneers for six to seven years. I have five years warranty for breakdown and damage. If you take proper care, they can last 15-25 years. I already had root canals on my front teeth. I researched places for two years."

She added: "My teeth weren’t actually healthy. I already had root canal in the front teeth and I already had veneers, so I didn’t actually ruin healthy teeth. My teeth were already f*****."
