Pebble in sandwich costs woman 3,000 pounds
July 30th, 2010 - 1:42 pm ICT by IANSLondon, July 30 (IANS) A British woman suffered a damaged tooth after biting into a sandwich that had a pebble in it. She had to endure four complex dental procedures costing 3,000 pounds.
Karen Addy, 48, thought she was having a healthy sandwich that she bought for 2.20 pounds.
Suddenly she felt a crunching sensation and found a pebble in the salad filling, The Sun reported Friday.
It damaged a tooth and caused an abscess.
She had to have the tooth removed along with four complex dental procedures, including a bone graft and titanium implants.
Karen said: “It has been a stressful ordeal but I can finally eat apples again. I had forgotten what they tasted like.”
