Katie Price's new 'huge' teeth could cause major health issues, dentists warn
Katie Price has been forced to deny she's had a new set of veneers, insisting her teeth simply look different because her "lips are thinner" - but experts have warned the star could face a host of health issues
Katie Price's fans have raised concerns after the ex-glamour model revealed a new, gleaming smile on social media.
Spotted with a strikingly bright grin during a Waitrose shopping trip on Monday, March 17, Katie uploaded footage that sparked rumours she had updated her 'Turkey teeth', which she got alongside a facelift and nose job a few months prior.
Despite having multiple veneers over the years, Katie, who has been candid about her struggles with body dysmorphia, denied getting new dental work done recently.
She addressed the chatter by saying "people find anything to pick on" and suggested her teeth might look bigger because her "lips were thinner".

Now, a dental expert has weighed in on the debate around Katie's notorious Turkey teeth, cautioning that she could face numerous problems.
Dr Dalel Trabelsi, dentist and clinical lead at Tooth Club, expressed concerns to the Mirror about Katie Price's recent dental work, saying: "Katie Price's recent dental transformation has raised concerns, particularly about the size of her veneers and the potential risks involved.
"Oversized veneers can cause several issues, including bite misalignment, which may lead to discomfort or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and they can also interfere with speech by affecting tongue movement and may irritate the gums, increasing the risk of inflammation or gum disease over time."
The NHS describes Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) as a condition that affects jaw movement, with symptoms including pain around the jaw, ear, and temple, as well as clicking, popping, or grinding noises when moving the jaw, reports the Mirror.
Dr Trabelsi added: "The aggressive preparation of teeth, such as filing them down into stumps to fit veneers or crowns, is especially worrying as this process permanently weakens teeth by removing healthy enamel, making them more prone to decay and sensitivity.
"It can also lead to complications like infections or the need for root canal treatments and shortens the lifespan of restorations, requiring repeated procedures on already compromised teeth.
"For those seeking aesthetic improvements, there are less invasive alternatives such as non-prep veneers that preserve natural tooth structure, composite bonding for minor corrections, or orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners to address alignment issues without damaging enamel.
"Katie Price's case highlights the importance of prioritising oral health over aesthetics and approaching cosmetic dentistry with care to ensure long-term dental wellbeing."
On her Instagram Story, while addressing rumours and confirming that she has been cleared of bankruptcy today, TV personality Katie Price told fans: "Well, the topic of this week is all about my teeth, not my weight.
!People will find anything to pick on me".
The OnlyFans star added: "I don't know, everyone says my teeth look too big for me.
"Well, I can assure you, I haven't had a new set of teeth.
"It might be because my lips are thinner. I haven't put anything in them."
She mused: "I don't know, they look the same to me, but you know, people find anything to pick on with me.
"The best thing is, I'm happy, and that's all that matters."
