A student described as "traumatised" has been awarded a £26,000 settlement from her former dental practice after alleged negligence led to a severe abscess and a near-sepsis incident.
Katelyn De Blick, then 16 and from Keighley, West Yorkshire, sought treatment at her local Skipton Road Mydentist practice in summer 2021 for a cracked tooth. Instead of addressing underlying decay, the tooth was reportedly cleaned and covered with a sealant.
