A woman has flown out to Turkey for dental work after claiming she couldn't see a UK dentist unless she 'took out a second mortgage' and paid £19,000.
Sally Murphy, 58, said she was removed from her dental practice as an NHS patient during the Covid pandemic. She said she tried to get back in contact with them but when she eventually got through, she was told that she couldn't now re-register.
Enamel has started to fall away from a dental bridge she had when she was 22 and one of her teeth has recently fallen out. After struggling to find another practice Mrs Murphy, from Wallasey on the Wirral, looked into going private, but found it would cost more than £19,000.
