Man denies threatening to kill dentist over ‘slap amateur’ work

A 41-year-old man told gardaí that he really tries to hold onto his teeth and the work done by an Ennis dentist on a tooth was ‘slap amateur.’

In a series of garda interviews read out in court yesterday, Eoin Hannan said that he went to Dr Tony Cotgreave’s surgery in May 2012 to complain over what he called was a ‘botched job’ on his teeth after spending two and a half hours in a dental chair.

In a garda interview on May 11, Mr Hannan complained: “This tooth back there is all cement. I really do try to hold onto my teeth, it was slap amateur.”
