Mother can not explain her daughter's death
As the Internet portal "Fox40" reported, the child should be in the Children's Dental Surgery Center of Stockton near San Francisco pulled two teeth and two sealed.

Shortly before her mother Araceli Avila posted photos of her daughter, on which she is alive and kicking. Only about half an hour later, the little one is dead.

"I just brought my daughter to the dentist because her teeth should be straightened, and only 30 minutes later they brought her back dead," the mother said aloud "Fox40.".

Araceli Avila was not allowed to attend her daughter's treatment. While she waited, she saw an ambulance arrive.

"And I got up and went outside, I thought they were coming for a kid, but I did not think it was because of my kid."

Only a short time later came a nurse who told her that something had gone wrong. She was told that her daughter's heart stopped beating - and that the girl may have had heart problems.

Maybe not tolerated anesthetics
However, the mother pointed out that her daughter had been "very healthy".

According to Fox News, a spokesperson for the dental clinic said the girl did not tolerate the anesthetic.

"We are committed to helping children every day. That's our mission, that's why we're here. It is risky. Not everyone wants to do it, "said the spokesman.

Last year, a 14-month-old baby died in a dental surgery in Texas because of problems with anesthetics.

Even in Germany there were already deaths on the dentist's chair. So last year, an 18-year-old died of heart failure in a Hamburg dental office.

The teenager apparently took diclofenac and ibuprofen on a regular basis. Such painkillers, according to experts, increase the risk of cardiac death.

Effects on the heart
Also problems with the teeth can possibly affect the heart.

For example, if toothache is caused by gingivitis, the germs can enter the bloodstream and so on to the heart.

But the doctors can not say why the three-year-old died in California. According to the information is now on an investigation.

"I do not want what happened to me to happen to another mother," Araceli Avila said. (Ad)
