Stokie dentist to the stars reveals most requested celebrity smile
A Stoke-on-Trent dentist to the stars has revealed the most requested celebrity smile patients ask him to replicate - and the £4 tool that can help you get it. Dr Kal Prajapat, 28, who has a practise in Stone and Festival Park, has been a cosmetic dentist for 10 years and is opening a new practice in Harrods later this year. He said having the perfect grin is now seen as a "status symbol" and more younger people than ever are after work thanks to seeing the work done on others on TikTok and Instagram. "Clients come to me with a reference picture from a famous person - usually an influencer - like you'd do at the hairdresser," said the dentist. Margot Robbie is the most popular right now because in a dentist's view, she has the perfect smile.

Her teeth follow her lower lip perfectly, and she has a tall buccal corridor smile - where a noticeable space exists between the sides of the upper teeth and corners of the mouth. Cheryl Cole is a close second." He says people in their 20s are seeking dental procedures from the rise of influencers and popular programmes like Love Island. Dr Kal added: "The advent of TikTok and Instagram has resulted in younger people wanting to have work done to their teeth. Before, it was Hollywood veneers that were popular among older people, as they typically had more disposable income. "Now people in their teens and 20s are wanting work done to get the perfect 'Instagramable' grin." Asked how to get "instant results" and a whiter smile, he recommends using an interdental toothbrush - a small, thin brush used to clean between teeth and along the gumline, where a regular toothbrush can't reach. They are available for around £4 from supermarkets. "For instant results but without a bid price tag, I recommend using an interdental toothbrush after regular brushing," he said. "They clean where routine brushing misses, meaning better gum health and a whiter smile I can immediately tell if a patient uses them by a glance at their teeth." With a practice in Stone and Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and soon to be Harrods, London, Dr Kal has a wide range of clients, including celebrities. Despite invasive procedures like veneers once being in high demand, Dr Kal says "less is more for a long-lasting smile" and promotes non-invasive composite bonding, Invisalign, and professional teeth whitening. Featuring in Olivia Attwood's recent season of The Price Of Perfection on ITV, he discusses the unrealistic cosmetic dental standards set by influencer culture. "People are using their teeth as a status symbol, like you might do with a designer bag or watch." Dr Kal said. "And it's not just women, I've seen a rise in men seeking dental work. They're not embarrassed or shy, and why should they? A lovely smile is beautiful on men and women. "I like to promote non-invasive procedures like composite bonding, plus they don't affect the quality of the tooth through drilling or filling. Less is more when it comes to dental procedures- that and an enamel-safe toothpaste, and I recommend an electric toothbrush." Understanding that not everyone can afford cosmetic dentistry, Dr Kal said: "I don't recommend whitening strips, they're too chemically abrasive for the teeth. It diminished the enamel, making the teeth more vulnerable to damage and cavities. "A good enamel-safe toothpaste is where you should start, and preferably an electric toothbrush. Oil pulling is an ancient medicinal practice which some people favour to get a whiter smile, but I evidence supporting its use is quite low. "Teeth whitening is where I recommend people spend their money, by going to a professional. It's more effective, safer and longer-lasting due to the EU-regulated chemicals we use. "It's a luxury not everyone can or wants to indulge in. If it's not something you can afford, an interdental toothbrush is your go-to product. Everyone should be using them."

Olivia Attwood exposes the dangers of weight loss procedures in new show
In her latest documentary series for ITV2, presenter and model Olivia Attwood explores weight loss jabs, scary surgeries and the lengths people will go to for their looks Presenter and model Olivia Attwood, a Love Island alumni, knows a thing or two about the pressures to look perfect. Over the years, she had indulged in the 'odd tweakment or two', admitting she's a bit addicted to lip filler. 'I will try anything,' she says. She thinks Kim Kardashian is the ideal of perfection and totally understands this need to keep chasing a desire for the perfect selfie. This all makes her the ideal person to make these documentaries, as she explores the booming business of cosmetic procedures - and the huge dangers - without judgement and with a vested interest. A warning, if you're squeamish you might want to have a cushion ready as this series is a no holds barred look at nips, cuts, tucks and nauseating surgeries. In this latest series, Olivia Attwood: The Price Of Perfection (starts June 12, ITV2, 10.05pm), Olivia investigates six different aspects of the cosmetic world - weight loss, smile, skin, the 'Mummy Makeover', men and 'Spending £100k and counting'. Not only does she speak to patients and practitioners, but she even hops onto the table to try some out for herself - from the latest in energy treatments to the benefits of salmon sperm injections. Starting with weight loss, Olivia says: 'Big boobs, big bums and body positivity may have changed the way we feel about our figures at times, but as far as I can remember, being thin has and probably always will be, in fashion.' Olivia interviews Kate Moss's fashion model sister Lottie, who was hospitalised after misusing Ozempic. Lottie says: 'I always felt compared to Kate. I felt a lot of pressure to be like her and to look like her. I got the Ozempic from a doctor who was giving it out on the sly with no questions asked. Within two weeks, I'd lost 6 or 7kg. I had a seizure. I was terrified. I honestly felt like I was dying. It wasn't worth it.' Olivia also talks to people using fat-busting injections (even when they don't know what's in them) and follows a woman to Turkey as she has 360 liposuction and a Brazilian Butt Lift. Frank, funny and relatable, Olivia is not afraid to ask the big questions in this eye-opening (and sometimes eye-popping) series. Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is airing on ITV2 tonight at 10.05pm. There's plenty more on TV tonight - here's the best of the rest.. DNA JOURNEY, ITV1, 9pm Cold Feet stars Fay Ripley and Hermione Norris are the first in the spotlight in this new series, which will also feature Jo Brand and Julian Clary and Sam Thompson and Marvin Humes as celeb twosomes. Using advanced DNA technology and genealogy, the duos will unlock hidden secrets from their family trees as they discover amazing revelations about their descendants, fascinating stories of unknown ancestors, and meetings with newly-found living relatives. 'I do feel nervous,' says Hermione. 'I didn't sleep a wink, I woke up at 3am with my normal menopausal angst. I don't know anything about my family.' While Fay adds: 'I've been haunted by my ancestors. It will be interesting to see where the acting comes from.' Their first instruction is to go to St Paul's Cathedral, where Fay makes a discovery about an elite printer in her past. And in Chester-le-Street, Hermione finds out about a mining background and a prank that went terribly wrong, involving a loaded gun. Her ancestor accidentally killed his best friend, believing the gun was not loaded. Hermione says: 'I don't know how you keep breathing if you've killed another human being, your best friend.' However, she then discovers the ancestor went on to rescue men and boys during a mining tragedy and then campaigned for safer mines, being hailed a hero. 'I'm proud that I come from mining stock," Hermione adds. As Fay and Hermione's journey continues, they discover their ancestors also include a Swedish immigrant and a music hall manager. THE SAVOY: GREAT HOTELS THROUGH TIME, 5, 9pm Tucked away in an exclusive part of London's West End is The Savoy, the capital's first purpose-built luxury hotel - and its history is fascinating. When it opened nearly 140 years ago it was a groundbreaker. It was the first hotel in London to have electric lighting, ensuite bathrooms and 'ascending rooms' - also known as lifts! It also has the longest surviving cocktail bar in London and the theatrical lobby, with its marble floor and mahogany walls, sending you back to a different era. Actor Nigel Haver says: 'People go to LA for showbiz. You don't have to, you go to The Savoy.' Sweeping through the history of the place, this documentary explores how The Savoy has always been a favourite of the rich and famous, including Hollywood screen siren Marilyn Monroe and our own royalty, Princess Diana. She celebrated her 30th birthday party there with 15,000 balloons and Prince Charles famously didn't attend. Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill and Vivien Leigh have dined there, French painter Claude Money has painted from a hotel balcony, fuelled by two cooked English breakfasts a day. Today, if you have a few grand for the night, you can stay in his suite and attempt your own version of a Monet painting. EMMERDALE, ITV1, 7.30pm The police reveal they believe Nate was killed on the day he was supposed to leave for Shetland and Tracy says she was at Vanessa's for that entire day. Later on, Vanessa looks like a deer in headlights when DS Walsh asks her to corroborate her sister's alibi in an official statement. Mandy and Paddy persuade Bear to go and see Liam about his insomnia. Kerry throws Pollard a surprise party but is horrified to hear he's planning to sell the barn. EASTENDERS, BBC1, 7.30pm It's Kat and Alfie's wedding day (again), but their concerns about Tommy and the video cast a shadow of their happiness. Alfie promises to talk to Tommy, but a series of mishaps distracts him. When Alfie also admits he has messed up several wedding tasks, Kat tells him she's having second thoughts. Will it go ahead? Denise tries to support Yolande and Patrick through the crisis in their relationship. Joel invites Tommy to come over to his place after the wedding.
