“A living nightmare”: Years of pain results in £25,000 settlement

The claim was issued against Jonathan McCarthy at Clifton Dental Practice. Audra was a patient with the practice between 2010 to 2018.

According to The York Press, Audra claimed, “she had experienced years of tooth loss, recurrent mouth infections and inadequate fillings after visiting the dentist, complaining of discomfort in her mouth several times.”

The Dental Law Partnership, Audra’s representatives, said, “Emergency treatment, including extractions and root canals, and medication were prescribed on a number of occasions but, by 2018, Ms Weston was left with almost no teeth in the front of her mouth on her top or bottom jaw.

"Despite having dentures installed, she often experienced mouth infections which meant it was too painful for the denture to remain in her mouth."
