The agony of botched budget dental treatment

This is the real cost of cut-price online DIY and cheap cosmetic dental work

At Carisbrook Dental we have witnessed, far too frequently, the true effects of cut-price DIY dental treatment purchased online and the gruesome repercussions experienced by people who have suffered appalling after-effects after undertaking cheap cosmetic dental work carried out by unskilled, unqualified and illegal practices. To quote an article that was published in one of the UK’s leading Sunday newspapers: “Crumbling loose teeth, ulcerated tongues and ragged, bleeding gums. Constant throbbing pain and patients left with tooth loss or needing multiple root canal treatments.”

Yes, at Carisbrook we have seen these horrendous after-effects of online DIY cosmetic dental work and the aftermath of cheap overseas dental treatment all too often.

It is professional, highly skilled and reputable dental practices such as Carisbrook that are then left to try and repair the devastating damage that has needlessly been inflicted.

More often than not we can. But occasionally the damage and agonies caused by this illegal cosmetic dental work are quite simply irreparable!

So often the unnecessary damage and the constant agonising pain is because people are tempted by unrealistic claims made online and on social media. These include dangerous teeth whiting treatments, hazardous orthodontic braces that cause more harm than good and of course cheap and inferior porcelain veneers.

People are all too frequently enticed by the rosy promises and outlandish claims made by online purveyors of cheap and dangerous cosmetic dental work products.  So very often the result is that they can be left not only in agony, but also with disfiguring results that can blight their lives.

Our professional advice is simply this: whatever you do, don’t fall for the fake promises of illegal DIY cosmetic dental work or by unlawful teeth whitening carried out in the backrooms of hair salons or beauty parlours.

By law only fully qualified and registered professional dentists are allowed to provide this cosmetic dental work!

At Carisbrook we have seen, all too often, the devastating results of these botched treatments: blistered tongues and lips, lacerated, bleeding gums, wonky disfigured teeth, totally avoidable tooth loss.

Yes, almost everyone would like beautiful teeth and an appealing white smile, but please do not fall for the exaggerated claims or the lure of cheap, cut-price treatment.

The true cost of falling victim to these unobtainable promises can be appalling.
