Tinder and other platforms, including Zoom, are introducing iris-scanning technology to allow users to verify they are human. To combat the rise of AI-generated bots, users can scan their irises via an app or a specialized "orb" device provided by the World network. Successful verification will earn users a "proof of humanity" badge.

A dad says he wishes he could "turn back time" after he flew to Turkey to fix his teeth only to be left with no teeth.

Jon Denton was forced to have his front teeth knocked out to get a breathing tube down his throat after he was involved in a serious motorbike crash in January 2020.

He then had metal put into his jaw for months during his recovery, and the now 34-year-old said he was left struggling to brush his teeth. The dad-of-two says this caused his teeth to crumble but when he reached out to a UK dentist for help he said he couldn't afford the £30,000 for treatment.

Jon, a delivery driver, claims his teeth then deteriorated further, leaving him with constant toothache and unable to eat food unless he cut it up "like a child". He decided to bring out £3,500 in January this year and fly out to Turkey to get a new teeth.

He had 14 implants fitted into his mouth, which he said left him in "excruciating" pain and his bottom teeth fell out when he returned to the UK.

When he flew back to Turkey for a check-up in March 2026, Jon, who was under sedation, claims the dentist then removed all his implants instead of fixing them.

He says he's now unable to even eat soft cake and wishes he could turn back the clocks and not have the procedure done. Jon, from Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, said:

"I remember waking up and there was nothing [no teeth] there. Other than the front one that was a bit sore, all the rest of the teeth were solid. There was no need to remove them all. It was a shock to find they were all removed. [When I got home] for a couple of days I just locked myself away.
