A grandma has told how she ended up "twisting" her own tooth out at home as she was going through "sheer hell" from the pain during a five month wait for a dentist.
Jacqueline Shepherd, 56, said that she started having severe toothache last February but could not get an appointment to see an NHS dentist, reported NottinghamshireLive.
And the "horrendous" pain led her to remove one of her own teeth.
