Turkey in Brief
Considered as the Cradle of Civilization, Turkey straddles the East and West continents, sharing history with the ancient Roman, Greek, Persian, Ottoman and Byzantine empires. The former capital and once known as Constantinople, Istanbul is one of Turkey’s many attractions, partially located in Europe on the west side of the Bosphorus Straits, and the other on the east side, in Asia.
Turkey is also blessed with many beautiful and stylish cities, including Antalya, the resort city on the Mediterranean Coast, Fethiye on the southwest Turquoise Coast and Izmir on the Aegean Coast. These destinations offer gateways to the popular beach resorts along the coasts they serve. Whether you prefer to laze in a hammock on a sliver of white sand at the laidback Butterfly Valley in Olu Deniz, or somewhere like Marmaris , you’ll surely find what you’re looking for on Turkey’s miles of gorgeous coastline.
Why Visit a Dentist in Turkey?
The well-documented NHS dentistry crisis in the UK shows no signs of abating, and if recent reports by the British Denta Association are to be believed are only going to get worse. More than two-thirds of NHS practices in England have struggled to fill vacancies in the last year, and with the uncertainty over Brexit and more than half of all NHS dentists planning to leave the service in the next five years, quality NHS dental care is likely to become an increasingly rare commodity.
As many patients have already struggled to find an NHS dentist, the outlook remains bleak for UK dental health. The cost of private dental care is just too expensive for many UK citizens, while most people now realise that not going to the dentist is at their health’s peril. It’s probably not uppermost in people’s minds to book in with a dentist while on holiday, but at the prices Turkey’s dentists charge, it is certainly worth considering if it’s the only way of affordably maintaining your dental health.
It’s so important to have dental check-ups to make sure there is nothing untoward going on with your oral health. Often, a problem like gum disease can be stopped in its tracks if appropriate treatment, such as professional teeth cleanings, are given early and regularly. This alone will save a world of more expensive treatments that will inevitably arrive if your dental health is neglected. The lesson here is that dental tourism is not just for the expensive procedures; thousands of patients travel every year to Turkey for everything from regular check-ups and cleanings to implants, root canals, bridges and more.
Turkey is a modern country with well-trained medical personnel. Its excellent dental tourism facilities compare favourably with any other country in Europe: the best clinics are modern and equipped with the latest technologies, including 3D/CT scanning, digital x-rays and computer-aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology, allowing for onsite while-you-wait prosthodontics, such as crowns or veneers. Thus, from everyday to complex, specialist dental care Turkey has the expertise and facilities to provide excellent quality at affordable prices.
For visitors from the UK and Ireland, low-cost flights are available from both countries to several international airports in Turkey with carriers including Turkish Airline, Pegasus Airlines, Easyjet, Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI.
Sea, sand and sun have been the key words of Turkish tourism for years. These words still fascinate the world. But Turkey has had a new magic word in tourism in recent years: Health.

Turkey is a large peninsula that bridges the continents of Europe and Asia. Turkey is surrounded by three sides by the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea.

HISTORY
Turkey is home to one of the earliest settlements in the world. Built 8,800 years ago, Catal Hoyuk was a labyrinth of 150 mud homes joined together. There were no streets in between, so people had to enter the homes through holes in the roof!
About 4,000 years ago, the Hittites created an empire in the central part of what is now called Turkey in Anatolia. They ruled for hundreds of years. The Trojan War took place when the Hittites were losing power. The ruins of the city of Troy are believed to be in the city of Hissarlik in Anatolia.
King Midas ruled western Turkey around 700 B.C. In 334 B.C., Alexander the Great took Anatolia under Macedonian Greek rule until Rome took over and Anatolia became part of Roman Asia Minor. In A.D. 330, Constantine became the Roman emperor and formed a new capital called Constantinople. After the fall of the Roman Empire it became part of the Byzantine Empire.
The city of Constantinople was conquered by the Ottomans in 1453 and Turkey became part of the Ottoman Empire. After World War I, the country was invaded by Greece, which led to the Turkish war of Independence in 1920, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. In 1923, the Turkish assembly declared Turkey a republic.
The city formally became Istanbul in 1923. Turkey became a secular country, meaning there is a separation between religion and government. Women gained the right to vote in 1934.
