A First Dates star who spent almost two years with teeth issues says he splashed out a total of £80k to fix them. Danny Bennett's ordeal began in March 2021 when his jaw got infected.
This meant he had to have all his teeth removed, and he assumed he'd quickly be sorted with a new set. However, Danny, 39, says he had "peg things" fitted by a dentist in the UK – which remained for 14 months.
He then decided to jet off to Turkey to get his smile fixed – but he wasn't happy with those results either. Danny, a late-night hospitality worker, has since had his teeth fixed after reaching out on TikTok.
But he wants to warn other people over his dentistry woes – and says it can be expensive. He said: “It has been years of agony, pain, and mental torture. I still don’t understand how it all happened.
“I couldn’t even talk to people at work. I’d be in a heated discussion and my teeth would fall out. I have to laugh about it now but it was horrific – I’m still not fully in a good place mentally. It’s ruined me. It’s horrible”
