Dentist ordered to pay woman £13,500 for botched job

A mother-of-three has won £13,500 in damages after a blundering cosmetic dentist reduced her smile to a row of ugly black stumps.

Amanda Farrall, 47, was forced to remortgage her house to fix her teeth after a series of errors by private cosmetic dentist Oluwashe Olojugba.

The financial advisor had more than ten years' treatment with Olojugba before the extent of the damage was uncovered during an emergency appointment with another dentist.



He informed her she'd been suffering from chronic gum disease for years.

After paying £8,500 to fix her teeth, Amanda decided to sue Olojugba for compensation and now has been awarded £13,500 in an out-of-court settlement.

Amanda, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, said, "The money is nothing compared to what I've been through. I'd just rather have my teeth."
