A mum has agreed to accept £20,000 damages from a dentist on behalf of her daughter who was left with tooth decay so severe she would find “bits of her teeth” left behind if she ate crunchy food. Cleaning firm boss Lisa Brown, claims she was told “everything was fine” with daughter Poppy's teeth, only to be landed with years of gruelling treatment and a £11,000 private dental repair bill.
Lisa, who is a single mum and lives in Bournemouth, Dorset, with Poppy, 13, and her one-year-old sister, blames the issue on early cavities going undiagnosed. She said: “Poppy would be eating and bits of her teeth were falling out.”
She added: “If she did have something crunchy, we’d see little bits of her teeth like chipped rice left behind. It was horrendous.” Lisa, who recently accepted the payment from Dr Diana Nuca, of {my}dentist, on behalf of her daughter, told how Poppy’s dental decay led to her having three teeth extracted.
