Avoid low-cost dental tourism and the 'shark teeth' trend, which involves aggressively filing down healthy teeth to fit them with prosthetics, as this causes irreversible damage to the natural and protective structure of the dentition.

The warning from Dr. NEVER is scientifically sound and validated by professional bodies, such as the Association Dentaire Française or the British Dental Association (expert opinion and field observations). Indeed, the 'shark teeth' trend involves excessively filing the protective enamel of healthy teeth to install crowns, a technique often confused on social media with simple, light surface veneers. Clinical case analyses show that this aggressive grinding destroys the majority of the natural and living structure of the tooth. Long-term, this loss of protection exposes the patient to extreme sensitivity, permanent discomfort, and increased fragility of the smile. While dental tourism is not inherently risky, the low-cost express model sometimes encourages overly radical choices to save time. Smile aesthetics experts today prioritize the maximum preservation of our natural capital, making this trend particularly damaging.
