Guidelines for Parents of Sedated Children
Earlier this week, local news in Chicago reported the story of a child who went for a visit to the dentist, and the sedation went wrong, badly wrong. The little girl first slipped into a coma, and died this morning. As a result of this, the news service posted an article and video describing for parents what they should do and know if their own child is being sedated.
"Dental Guide For Parents When Child Is Sedated: Questions Parents Should Ask Before Dental Procedures" Mary Ann Childers, Sep 25, 2006 5:21 pm US/Central. http://cbs2chicago.com/local/local_story_268182445.html
"No parent wants what happened to 5-year-old Diamond Brownridge to happen to their son or daughter. The young girl remains in a coma after being sedated during a dental procedure."
