A MUM is suing a dentist for £10,000 for shoddy treatment that she says left her so ugly her own baby cries every time she sees her.Xu Feng, 33, claims she was talked into paying £1,200 to have 12 crowns fitted on her teeth during a visit to the clinic in Chongqing city, central China. But she says that once the anaesthetic wore off she was in pain and her gums became covered in infections and abscesses.Surgeons discovered that the unlicensed clinic had ground down perfectly healthy teeth to stumps, exposing raw nerves under the crowns and veneers.Xu said: “Real dentists have cured the infections and the pain but I look like a monster. “I have a one year old daughter who won’t come near me if I open my mouth and screams and cries until I close it. Those people stole my smile.”Now her husband Zhang Lu’s lawyers are negotiating with the bogus clinic’s owners. –TS
