Mum had to have teeth removed and jaw replaced after she got infected tooth

A mum had to have all of her teeth removed and her jaw replaced three times after she got an infected tooth.

Meighan Maselli, 36, needed a root canal and two teeth had to be removed after her dentist noticed that they were infected during a routine apoointment.
