Two weeks after Lily Lindsay treated herself to a new smile she began to suffer from a painful allergic reaction.
A young woman began to suffer from painful "elephant skin" all over her body after taking an allergic reaction to her £1000 veneers.
Lily, a document controller from Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, said: "My veneers gave me immensely dry and flaky skin - like elephant skin. No doctors could help me - so I ended up on antidepressants. It was absolutely consuming me." She said: "I stopped using my cleanser and started using the rosacea cream. My skin didn't really take kindly to that."
Lily said: "Day-to-day, my face would get a little more crusty, itchy and red. It was so painful under my arms - I couldn't even put my arms down or shower. My face felt incredibly hot, angry and itchy. "I was just so low at how I looked - it got to the point where I just didn't want to be here anymore. I felt like a failure."
After hearing about Lily's symptoms, her dad's colleague believed her - and supported her in going back to her dentist.She said: "I phoned the dentist - and she was very shocked. It was such a rarity that they didn't actually think it could be an allergic reaction.""My dentist said she'd cover the cost, because I was clearly suffering," Lily added. "She was so worried that filing them off may give me an anaphylactic shock - but luckily, it was fine.
