A 5 year old Chicago girl, who entered a coma while sedated for undergoing a dental treatment of 2 cavities and caps being placed on her lower teeth. has passed away.

It has been said that she was given a triple dose of sedatives _ an oral agent, an intravenous drug and nitrous oxide gas _ during Saturday's exam at Little Angel Dental.

The girl's mother, Ommettress Travis, has said she was asked to leave the room during the half-hour procedure. When she returned, her daughter was lying in the dental chair, not breathing, Travis said.

From what I understand, the familys' attorneys are getting the equipment that was used during the sedation checked  by professionals, and are also checking other dental records etc. to see if their case has any merit.

Our condolences to the Travis family.
