Toddler's death after dental procedure in Greensboro sparks anesthesia safety concerns
The death of a two-year-old boy, Er'Mias Mitchell, after a dental procedure has raised questions about anesthesia safety protocols. With at least eight deaths reported over 13 years, there are growing calls for reform, including stronger requirements for anesthesia practices.

I do not know the specific details. Obviously a pretty legit place to have dental procedures done with anesthesia. Complications can and will happen over time. Just the law of averages in our specialty.
1. What age is too young for stand a lone outpatient dental procedures with anesthesia. These are baby teeth anyways especially at 2 years old. I don't even know the physiological age of the 2 year old if they were born weeks early or not?
I was hesitant when my son had to have a dental procedure at age 4 and he was a big boy even at age 4. I decided to take him to the state owned university owned mega dental complex to have it done because it was "full service" facility with all the bells and whistles you can expect from a big place. But adverse events can happen anywhere outpatient or inpatient.
I'm sure everyone was experienced at that facility in North Carolina.
Some lawyer is gonna to get a massive payday out of this regardless.
