A mother enduring decades of excruciating jaw pain, now able to open her mouth just 14mm, has voiced her despair, claiming she is "deteriorating in front of a system that continues to ignore" her.

Naomi Smith, 47, from Gloucestershire, began suffering from jaw pain and teeth grinding at 18, which became "unbearable" over the years.
