A girl who starved to death after having eight teeth removed had a deep fear of dentists which went unnoticed by authorities, a coroner has said.

Sophi Waller, of St Dennis, Cornwall, died in December 2005 of renal failure caused by starvation and dehydration. She suffered an apparent extreme dental phobia and refused to eat, sleep or drink after her milk teeth came loose.

It's amazing how extreme phobias of dentists and dental hygiene can be. How no-one knew of this though is beyond me...

eugh it sounds horrible way to go. To be that scared of something and then be made to do it and then die over it..
