Finley [the 3 year old girl] went to her first dental appointment at Island Dentistry in November, when doctors told her mother she had 10 cavities and would need four root canals, according to the civil complaint against Dr. Lilly Geyer and Island Dentistry.

Shortly after doctors administered a mix of drugs to sedate and numb Finley for the dental procedures on Dec. 3, she went into cardiac arrest, according to the complaint. Fried said that Finley was given too much of each drug and that most of them weren't necessary.

The doctor did not know how to revive Finley and ran out of the practice and down the hallway to find a pediatrician to administer CPR, Fried said

WTF????!!!!

Members don't see this ad.
 
wtf why would three year old get a root canal.
 
She needed a pulpotomy not a root canal. They are not the same thing. This dentist over dosed the patient and then neglected the patient. On top of all that she could even administer CPR. Was this doctor a pedo dentist?
