Mum's anguish as errors by dentist turn her teeth black

Patient wins payout of almost £10k after hellish experience left her trying to speak without opening her mouth

- PAIGE OLDFIELD

A MUM who was left with black teeth following a string of dental errors says she tries not to open her mouth when she speaks.

Georgia Creary, from Withington, says she feels 'embarrassed' by the state of her smile after poor dental treatment led to decay and infections.

The 58-year-old first went to her dentist with tooth pain in early 2015 and later received root canal treatment.

But as the months and years went on, the support worker continued to have problems with the same top tooth, saying her issues kept being 'pushed down the line' until her next appointment.

Things came to a head in 2021 when the mum was forced to visit an emergency dentist after the tooth broke, leaving her in agony.
