An ex-fizzy pop addict who is so petrified of the dentist that she didn't go for a decade has been left unable to eat or even use a toothbrush for two years - after her teeth turned black and crumbled away.
Cara Smith, 43, is desperately fundraising £2,000 for private dental treatment as she claims the NHS have been unable to help her despite her teeth "falling apart" in her mouth.
She believes her heavy smoking is one of the key reasons for her tooth decay, as well as drinking around two litres of fizzy drinks every day.
