According to the FCDO, 22 British nationals have died in Turkey since January 2019 as a result of 'medical tourism' visits
The UK Foreign Office is urging people to do their research before travelling to Turkey for medical and dental procedures.
One of the procedures Turkey is known for is cosmetic dentistry as people head to the country for “Turkey teeth”, which can involve having your natural teeth filed down and covered with veneers or crowns. If it’s not carried out properly it can lead to complications and can cause permanent damage. The FCO said: "The term ‘medical tourism’ refers to those tourists who have chosen to have medical/surgical/dental treatment abroad. Cosmetic surgery, dental procedures and cardiac surgery are the most common procedures that medical tourists undertake.
Brits who plan to travel to turkey for teeth or surgical treatment are being urged to consult the HealthTurkiye portal website for medical providers who are approved by the Ministry of Health. Dental experts have previously warned about the "hidden" dangers people put themselves in when they travel abroad for cheaper treatment, reports the ECHO.
