A man has been left “insulted and upset” after being refused dental treatment because he was “too fat for the chair”. David Bottomley, from Penderyn in Wales, was “gobsmacked” after turning up at Dental Lounge in Glynneath on Friday, May 5, and being told that he couldn't be seen due to his weight.

"I did say I was angry, it was a shock to the system to be told something like that. Is it my problem that their chairs don’t work? I’ve been waiting for the appointment for a while because I had a problem with my two crowns. My crowns fell out after I’d been eating a pear."
“I wish I’d have been told much earlier. It’s not like they didn’t know me. I’ve been this weight for 15 or 20 years and I’ve been going to the same
