Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Are you thinking of heading to a dental clinic for a “Hollywood smile”?
The official account of the “Salamatak Program”, one of the initiatives of the Gulf Health Council, stated in a tweet on “Twitter” that people should think regarding it carefully because of the potential effects of this cosmetic procedure.
Some procedures that achieve that smile require the removal of the enamel layer that maintains the health of the teeth, and protects the inner layers of the teeth from damage.
Here are the possible negative effects of a Hollywood smile:
- It may cause gingivitis and its associated symptoms due to the accumulation of food deposits between the natural tooth and the artificial tooth, and it may result in bad breath, and the formation of pus between the gums and teeth
- Teeth become more sensitive to anything that enters the mouth, such as hot or cold temperatures
- Not accepting the new smile, and being ashamed of it as a result of the radical change in the person’s appearance
- Speech and language problems, which may result in difficulty and dread when communicating
