Mum spent five months in hospital away from kids after routine dentist check-up

A single mum-of-four has spent five months away from her young children after a routine dental appointment landed her in hospital hell.

Treatment on an abscess to the Yorkshire mum's tooth led to an infection on her brain that could have killed her. Now Rebecca Dalton is appealing for others to make sure they follow up on routine dentist work after the small growth on her tooth almost cost the 35-year-old her life.

Rebecca, from Snaith, near Goole, went to the dentist in December last year after a small abscess developed on her upper wisdom tooth and was given antibiotics and told the tooth would need removing.

But she told Hull Live the dentist could not carry out the procedure there and then because she was heavily pregnant at the time.
