I was so insecure I spent £4.5k getting perfect Turkey teeth – it was so painful I cried & trolls say my smile's ruined
A WOMAN who spent £4,500 getting the perfect Turkey teeth has hit back at trolls who say she's "ruined" her smile.
Tara Omidi made the decision to get a full set of new gnashers after a UK dentist "failed" her and she had to have two teeth removed following a routine root canal.

"They were right at the back of my mouth and caused my remaining teeth to move away from the centre of my face, leaving me feeling very insecure when I spoke," Tara, from Oldham, Manchester, said.
'People would make indirect digs and tell me I had 'unique' teeth or comment 'Your teeth aren't in the middle, are they?'
"I felt really insecure, my job is social media and I'm known for being the happy, always laughing person.
'It would make me so shy and I'd just crumble.
'I decided I was going to have them all shaved down, realigned and have crowns fitted."
Despite the horror stories she'd heard about Turkey teeth gone wrong, Tara did her research and finally found a clinic she felt she could trust - with the positive reviews also reassuring her.
She sent over pictures of her teeth, had an online consultation and flew to Turkey eight weeks later.
However, Tara admitted she had no idea how painful the procedure would end up being.
'I felt I could trust the clinic as they were very thorough with their examinations and X-rays," she added to Need T oKnow.
'But it was painful - the actual fitting.
'People do lie about it and make out it is a breeze... I cried having them fitted!"
Tara spent four days abroad, which included having the procedure, resting in her hotel room and a final check-in with the dentist.
And she said that since heading back to the UK, "everything has been great".
'I love them - they have given me my confidence and smile back," she grinned.
'Of course you get trolls online saying horrible things but being online, people think they have the right to say and do nasty things – I couldn't care less.
'I do what makes me happy for me, not for other people.'
Tara has faced cruel comments from trolls throughout her dental journey, and previously c ame under fire for a TikTok video which showed her teeth after they'd been filed down - before the crowns are fitted.
Tara filmed the clip in her hotel room after she had her teeth filed down, which happens before the crowns are fitted.
And the comments section was quickly filled with people slamming her for going ahead with the transformation.
"You have ruined your own teeth," one sighed.
"Jesus woman!" another added, as a third marvelled "I dunno how people can do this."
"Give it a few months and you will be in horrendous pain!" someone else predicted.
As another questioned: "How is that natural?!"

A day in the life of a tennis star at Wimbledon: Brit DAN EVANS reveals all... from sushi to taped feet
Let's start with where I'm staying. One of the things that makes this fortnight unique is that most players, certainly Brits and big names, tend to rent apartments or houses in Wimbledon Village rather than stay in hotels. There's a website where people rent out their homes for the tournament - every year there's a dash for the best places! The top boys will get a big house for their whole team and tend to stay in the same place each year. We've got a nice place, just me and my wife Aleah, and it's just a walk across the common to the All England Club.

Seven ways to save money on your family holiday this summer
Families preparing for summer holidays abroad are being urged to meticulously plan their finances, as new research reveals a significant number are blowing their budgets by hundreds of pounds. A recent survey by Post Office Travel Money indicates that while more than three-quarters (78 per cent) of families are set to travel internationally soon. However, nearly the same proportion (74 per cent) admitted to overspending on their last trip. The Post Office's Holiday Spending Report, released earlier in June, found that families typically exceeded their allocated resort costs – including meals and drinks – by an average of £323. The average family surveyed spent £1,089 against an initial budget of £766. The findings, based on two surveys of over 2,000 people conducted in April and May, highlight the need for careful financial planning to avoid unexpected expenses. 1. Look for a resort where the cost of living is low The Post Office said holidaymakers surveyed in its research rated Spain and Turkey strongly for value. It may also be worth asking friends and family members for their recommendations. 2. Cut the cost of meals and drinks Busy beachside cafes and restaurants in tourist hotspots may be pricier than the places where local residents choose to eat. Local draught beers and carafe wine may also sometimes be less expensive than international brands. 3. Pick a destination where sterling is strong Laura Plunkett, head of travel money at the Post Office, said: 'Despite fluctuations and some uncertainty about sterling when it fell against key currencies earlier in the year, it has now bounced back from its January dip and currently looks stable. This is a reassuring trend for holidaymakers planning trips abroad this year.' Some holidaymakers may have booked to travel to the United States following the strengthening of sterling against the US dollar. The Post Office suggested that holidaymakers may also consider locations where currencies are pegged to the value of the US dollar. 4. Consider self-catering or 'all inclusive' packages Self-catering breaks enable holidaymakers to set their own food and drink budgets. Past Post Office research has indicated that the Balearic Islands offer good value shop prices, while supermarkets in the Algarve and the Costa del Sol have also been seen as offering good value. The Post Office said going all inclusive can also be a good way to rein in costs but urged people to make sure they check what is included in the package price so they do not end up paying unexpectedly for extras. 5. Budget carefully The Post Office suggested setting a realistic budget to cover all costs as well as researching the best exchange rates before travelling and avoiding fees for topping up holiday money spending while abroad. Some holidaymakers may want to consider a pre-paid currency card, or look at banks which do not charge foreign transaction fees. Ms Plunkett said: 'Paying on a debit or credit card may seem like a convenient way to pay for things while abroad, but our research suggests that this can be a costly practice. Far too many holidaymakers told us that they paid significantly more than they anticipated because of transaction charges made for using credit and debit cards at an overseas ATM.' 6. Consider making a shorter trip The Post Office research found some holidaymakers are cutting their costs by making shorter trips, or booking cheaper accommodation to afford their trip abroad. 7. Sidestep 'pester power' Parents told the Post Office that on their last holiday they spent an average of more than £200 on children's beach items such as buckets and spades, swimming masks and snorkels, water rides, ice creams and visits to water parks. Families could consider allowing children to have a set amount of pocket money to spend during their holiday.
