Clifford Shaw, 65, lost several teeth, including his two front teeth, due to untreated gum disease and missed signs of decay by two mydentist branches in his hometown. He now wears dentures and experiences pain when eating. Mr. Shaw received £11,800 in an out-of-court settlement from his former dentists.
A postman who lost his front teeth and was left in pain after a series of dentists missed his gum disease has won a £12,000 payout.
“The dentists would just fill my teeth, and then when that didn’t work to ease the pain, they’d pull them out." He added: “I now have dentures, including my two front teeth. It makes me feel dead old. It’s embarrassing, and costly. I still struggle to eat and drink with dentures on as when I chew they press on my nerves.
