Children terrified when they saw mum's face after trip to dentist

A mum said she has been left permanently disfigured after what should have been a routine dentist appointment.

While the swelling eventually cleared, Claire, 38, says her lip has been permanently altered since the incident. She said: "My young children, one of whom is autistic, found my face terrifying. In 2020 she was told she needed to have a root canal to treat a tooth where decay had developed. But she said: “As soon as the dentist started drilling into my tooth, I was hit by an overwhelming bleach smell and started experiencing shooting pain in my face.

And if the second dentist had used the appropriate guards, Claire's hypochlorite injury and subsequent hospitalisation would have also been avoided. Claire also had to have two teeth taken out due to untreated decay and she may need four implants.
