The "Turkey Teeth" trend that's been lately creating a buzz across all social media platforms was inspired by the likes of Katie Price, Kerry Katona and Jack Fincham who traveled to the Central Asian nation and splurged huge on the dental procedure to acquire a perfect line of teeth.

But people who underwent the cosmetic procedure said their new smile was accompanied by a number of painful complications including teeth rotting, drying, and in some cases the prospect of wearing dentures at a very early age.

A team of U.K. dentists also said the trend has many shortcomings, an opinion they derived from a BBC survey involving 1,000 British residents. At least 597 of those partaking in the survey said they experienced complications from the dental work. As opposed to what people believe, achieving "Turkey Teeth" requires crowning and not veneers, meaning 70% of natural teeth are removed.

The trend was at the center of large-scale social media attention last year, with the hashtag "#TurkeyTeeth" reaching a staggering 130 million views and several social media influencers joining the bandwagon.

A man who thought his smile was the "ugliest thing ever" also got his set of Turkey Teeth but received a barrage of warnings from his TikTok followers about the possible hazards. Just after he shared the results, his followers pointed out how the trend wasn't worth the hype.

Another TikTok user named Emma hopped on the trend as well, only to end up believing that it was a bad decision as she developed a lisp and struggled to close her mouth properly.

What is "Turkey Teeth" all about?

According to a report by BBC news, the procedure involves placing moderately priced crowns on teeth for a smile makeover. A dental surgeon would cut the teeth 60-70 percent, down to almost the fangs, before they seal it all off with a cap glued on top. And since it's majorly done in Turkey, the trend was so named.

A woman, Lisa Martyn, who blew £2,960 ($ 3173.582) for the treatment said it was botched and she ended up requiring dentures at just the age of 48.

Besides, doctors believe crowning needs to be replaced every 5-15 years.
