A young boy’s front tooth has been ripped out while he was going down a children’s slide.

12 year-old Denis-Cristian Bulancea was playing with his friends at a sandpit in Beachfields in Kent. Near the sandpit, there is a castle slide and climbing frame. But the day took a turn when Denis’ tooth caught on a screw in the slide.
