Mrs Hall - Suffolk

RETIRED NURSE LEFT IN AGONY AFTER DENTIST BOTCHES TREATMENT

Condition:
Analysis of her dental records revealed that Dr Fordham had failed to spot and treat decay clearly visible in X-rays taken as far back as December 2015. He had also failed to recognise and treat an infection. As a result of Dr Fordham’s poor treatment, Mrs Hall’s tooth decayed to such an extent it had to be extracted. The dentist then even botched the extraction by failing to carry it out with due skill and care, leaving the tooth’s roots in situ instead of removing them. Because of Dr Fordham’s treatment Mrs Hall has experienced severe pain, infection and swelling for no reason. She now faces extensive corrective treatment.
