Man told to leave dentist after waiting for months 'because he was too fat for the chair'

A man was left “insulted and upset” after he was turned away by a dentist after a five-month wait for being “too fat for the chair”.

David Bottomley, from Penderyn in Wales, said he was “gobsmacked” after he turned up for his appointment at the Dental Lounge in Glynneath only to be told to leave again.

Retired pub-landlord Mr Bottomley, 65, weighs 22 stone, and said he went to get two crowns replaced at the dental practice he had used for the past 10 years.
