DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

Nothing is as healthy and valuable as your own tooth. Any incorrect treatment you have had may return to you as a gum problem in the future. Don’t believe the white, flawless dental images circulating on social media. Be realistic and thoroughly investigate your doctor and treatment method.

The use of social media is now an indispensable part of our lives. In order to get new customers, dentists also use social media. Dentists brag about oral and dental health to the public, while informative they do share a more aesthetic smile enchants are at the forefront of real people, hypnosis, but it is inconsistent with the actual results while sharing photoshop images. Is it ethical to trick people via Instagram and other social media channels? Who will be responsible for misleading people with photos played on in this way and then when those quality materials are not used, patients leave dissatisfied and even have health problems afterwards?

Recently, people have been trying to get the same treatment and procedure for themselves by liking the before-after photos they have seen on the Instagram accounts of doctors or dental clinics. They go to dentists in Turkey saying, “If I had my solid teeth cut, I would do this, like if you had a Zirconium coating,” etc. First of all, it is important that a person has a healthy gum and his own natural teeth that are healthy. They are trying to sell people with dreams with white photos, all of which have been selected, played with photoshop on neat faces.
.

Turkey Medicals – of course, such treatments are possible, it is possible to get such results, but the material must be thin and of high quality. And when that happens, the price is high.

.
If the people who are going on this path cannot afford it financially, other people are trying to make the same images as the alternatives, and the patient is trying to be convinced. Tomorrow, the next day, problems start to arise…

.
IT MAKES YOUR MOUTH SMELL

In our daily work, we see that the vast majority of patients who have had a coating have bad breath. This includes aesthetics and lamination; its work should be done in competent places and with quality materials. When this is not done, it results in bad breath. These operations are simplified on Instagram or on social media. It’s going to be a bit of slang, so to speak, for people in some way, but ‘they’re gassing it.’ Those who see these flawless photos also want to take a breath at their dentist right away. Well, of course, in order not to miss the patient, they start treatment immediately, but the results are disappointing.

An implant is one of the best methods of treating missing teeth today. But those who see what is being done on social media sometimes sound in such a way that they say, “Let’s pull out my tooth, which is a bruise on the back, let’s implant it instead.” Nothing is as healthy and valuable as your own tooth. After losing your own tooth, the ideal method of treatment for missing teeth is an implant.

But we still need to have treatments as long as we can protect our own teeth, no matter what it takes; fillings, veneers. if there is no last resort, of course, let’s pull it out so that it doesn’t hurt us, let’s implant it. But let’s not pull out solid teeth or teeth that have a little bit of a problem, believing what you are reading from right to left. When you say ‘Let’s get it removed and have an implant replaced’, this time the material will get involved again.
.

Because there are implant brands in our country with prices ranging from one thousand 500 TL to one thousand 500 Euro, when the implant you have made is not suitable for you, it will cause more damage to you in the future; these should also be taken into account. It is not necessary to believe everything that is written on social media.

.
THE NUMBER OF BACTERIA INCREASES

Every incorrect treatment that you have had is sometimes returned to you with a gum problem in the future, sometimes for aesthetic purposes, sometimes for it’s functional purposes. This gum problem causes an increase in the number of bacteria and inflammation in our mouth. This in turn, will reduce the body’s resistance and causes a decrease in immunity to diseases, especially during this coranavirus period. That’s why everything starts from the mouth; that’s why oral health is so important.

.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HOLLYWOOD SMILE

White, straight teeth, as if they had all come out of one hand, are marketed with different names such as ‘Hollywood smile’ on social media, such names are put. Because when we look at the literature of dentistry, there are no such words; that is, there are no applications such as these words. “I’m going to go get a Hollywood smile done, I’m going to go get that smile done,” the patients say on social media.

.
DO NOT BELIEVE THESE WORDS

These are fake names given by physicians or practitioners. There is no equivalent of these in the literature, there is no such name, so it is necessary to pay attention to these as well. Let everything be in order. You may want a very white tooth, but when you have it done, another doctor may call it an American smile, another a Russian smile, and another a Turkish smile. You should never fall for these things.

The important thing is that there is no infection in your mouth due to the procedure you have done in the future. The purpose of these treatments is; it is to eliminate the problems that will cause food accumulation, will you have any gum problems, which may cause bone resorption, and make right treatments accordingly.

.
WHILE YOU INTEND TO HAVE AN AESTHETIC SURGERY DONE BE LET DOWN OF ORAL HEALTH

The color of the teeth that are shared on social media by showing the before and after status of the teeth is actually opened with a little photoshop. It’s mostly doctors who do this, not those who sell supplies. In the shares of those who sell illegal materials, their own teeth are seen in the first photo of the patient, and their coated and whitened teeth are seen in the second photo.

Please pay attention to these, do not fall into these situations. After some time after operations with teeth whitening materials that are not of good quality, do not have FDA approval, are not accepted by dentists around the world, there may be sensitivity in the teeth. After that, intact teeth can get infected, and even the condition can lead to tooth loss. Don’t be let down in your oral health when you say ‘I’ll have an aesthetic done’.
.

The main news on television nowadays has a news story every day that is necessarily full of aesthetic errors. The same applies to teeth whitening.
