A retired RAF navigator and grandfather, who was left needing emergency surgery after a gold crown became lodged in his right lung during a dental appointment, said he hopes the practice is better prepared in future after he was awarded £4,500.
Paul Thorpe, 58, who lives in Doncaster with his wife, Gillian, 58, a retired teacher, was booked in for an emergency dental appointment in March 2021, during the national lockdown, after a filling fell out.
