AFTER giving birth to her baby boy, pregnancy hormones had caused some serious damage to Amanda's teeth and she required dental work. Around this time, adverts on social media were popping up on the mum's phone, encouraging her to fly to Istanbul and get a Hollywood smile makeover. She told Truly: "Does it not make sense to have a full mouth of beautiful teeth? I would be pain-free, my life would be back to normal and I would be able to enjoy being a parent again?" But when Amanda landed in Turkey, the treatment she experienced was nothing like what she had anticipated. She revealed: "I was sold a dream and I was delivered an absolute nightmare." Enduring painful procedures and ending up with a botched smile, Amanda admitted: "I was in shock, I had no idea that's what was going to happen." Back in the UK, Amanda had to shell out even more money to get her teeth corrected, undergoing a process that took 60 hours in the chair. In this episode of Shake My Beauty, we'll hear the horror that Amanda experienced and why she wants others to seriously think before they consider opting for dental tourism. She said: "My message to the world is, no smile is worth dying for, no trend is worth following to be left in life-threatening situations."
