Dentist Sumit Aggarwal has been ordered to pay £137,000 in damages and costs for needlessly pulling out three teeth while trying to repair the chipped tooth of Lindsey Harris who bled for three days. The 56-year-old chef sued Mr Aggarwal and the north Norfolk dental practice where he worked, claiming he negligently "smashed" one of her teeth "to pieces" which in turn damaged two other teeth which he pulled out.
Mrs Harris told Central London County court that was “left in agony” by her horrendous experience. She added: "There was an awful lot of blood".
Judge Christopher Letham found the dentist and Compass Clinic Ltd guilty for the negligent treatment in June 2014 and ordered them to pay £137,000 in costs and damages.
