SAN RAMON, Calif. -- A bill making its way through California's legislature would require dentists to inform parents about the dangers of anesthesia in the wake of a toddler's death after a procedure at a San Francisco Bay Area dentist's office, CBS station KPIX-TV reports.
Three-year-old Marvelena Rady's parents never imagined their daughter's visit to the dentist over the weekend would turn fatal.
Marvelena had a root canal and was given anesthesia, but she never woke up.
It's been a little over a year since Tim Sears' son Caleb died during a dental procedure. He went to an oral surgeon to have a tooth pulled. The surgeon recommended general anesthesia, but Caleb stopped breathing during the procedure.
Now Caleb's parents are channeling their grief into political action, fighting to pass a law to make sure parents are informed about the risks and their rights when it comes to anesthesia and dentistry.
They have teamed up with East Bay Assemblyman Tony Thurmond.
The law would require dentists to inform parents about the dangers of anesthesia.
Marvelena's exact cause of death is still being investigated. Her dentist, Dr. Cheri Dang from Dentalbliss, did have a license to perform anesthesia.
The California Dental Association says the licensing process is in-depth and extensive, but in this case the dentist was doing two jobs.

不见得
局麻
我的牙医就问我是全麻还是局部麻,我选的局部。感觉绰绰有余了,下牙床和嘴巴一点知觉都没有。搞不懂干嘛要全麻?
我就是智齿蛀了,一不小心就会疼,现在是想拖到回国拔,可是马上要生了,估计要1年以后才能回国。但是每次去洗牙,牙医就要和我说智齿,汗。。。
我也见过这样的牙医,好好的牙非要你做根管 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
哎。。。我们是牙医请的麻醉师到诊所来做。
我当时坚持局麻,医生很烦觉得费事,但是我还是坚持了。
一次拔左右两边的两颗,一次拔一边的一颗,都是局麻。
打定主意不涉及到生命危险的情况不给孩子全麻。
认识一个妈妈全麻给孩子补牙了,也是做的这种根管牙套,全麻着补了几个小时。她一直说完全没有任何影响,我知道她其实是不开心的,也只能安慰她真的没影响。但是我是完全不相信没影响的。
我一下拔两个,总共拔四个,都是局麻
看情况吧。
一次拔了四颗智齿,局麻。当时心里还挺恐慌的
太可怜了!
乳牙坏了会影响牙床牙龈影响恒齿萌出的,家长千万不能因为反正会换牙,不注意乳牙保健
这年头黑心牙医太多了
可怜的孩子,上次奥斯丁那个儿童牙医如何了?
呃 那你还是拔吧。。55 ps 据说美国牙医比国内先进10年。。貌似还是在美国拔算了

笑气危险吗,孩子过一阵要补牙,3岁
不知道能不能不瞎说?我在美国拔过智齿,4小时不许开车而已,拔完就走人,没有全麻
感觉比全麻要好点
嗯,我拔阻生齿的时候,医生先问过我要局部麻醉还是全麻,我要求局麻。其实全麻也不是真的全身麻醉,就是给镇静剂让人昏睡而已。你们医生都不先解释一遍手术过程的吗?
+1
我做过ROOT CANEL,对恒牙还是满重要得
不过要看智齿有没有长出来,全麻的mm可能是智齿还在里面,要割开肉砸碎取出来,那种历时长也比较可怕
笑气也是可能出问题的,要看人。我自己就碰到了问题,当时的感觉就像要死了一样,赶紧给吸氧气才缓过来的。
可怜的孩子 RIP
但是牙医也没给她全麻啊,就是用mask一直吸笑气,然后再局麻,我在旁边看的眼泪都要掉下来了,就看血沫和牙沫飞钻,她自己超级乖的,一点也没有哭。估计是没啥感觉,但是一直有意识的。没办法,后面的大牙要11,12岁才换呢,如果不做的话很影响后面的牙长而且也疼,所以一般后面的牙坏了肯定要做,前面的牙因为换的早,就无所谓补不补了。我家丫头那次检查是9个cavities
所以肯定是那个医生操作不当吧,真正有问题我觉得还是要做的。
你这个牙医神经病吧!哪有root canal不打麻药的,那是要碰到神经的,他也不怕你痛得起来打他嘛
可以自己选的
牙龈注射+吸笑气可以达到拔牙过程基本无知觉,算是全麻?我看大部分拔智齿的都是这么干。我一直以为这样算局麻。
另外,小孩子的根管和我们大人的不一样,小孩的根管只是把牙齿上面的神经抽掉,并不会做到牙根部分,其实也是一个比较简单的手术,在全麻过程中,医生还会根据小孩子全麻后才能拍x ray来判定还有一些什么其余的手术要做,该拔的拔,该补的补,该做crown的做crown,所有的treatment 都可以在一个手术里面完成,小孩子也不必来好几次,不知道这么解释大家清楚了没有。有了解的MM也欢迎补充
我一次拔了两个智齿,两个都要切开的,但是找了个UCSF的比较有名的牙医用的局麻。另有一个也很有名的年轻些的医生,他说他所有智齿手术只做全麻的,窃以为是他技术不够好,不敢局麻。
对了我局麻前期用了笑气,我反应特别大差点直接晕过去,我还跟护士提了说我不要用了,然后医生就给我停了。
全程我都是有意识的,看着医生操作,虽然有些紧张,但我宁可这样也不要无知觉。
之后我还自己开车回家了。一点儿没肿恢复也很好。
实在是很不喜欢这里拔个牙做个肠镜胃镜都要全麻的习惯
请问zip code 能否推荐下这个牙医?也想不用麻醉给娃补牙镶牙
国内医生经验丰富手脚快
笑气和全麻是两个概念
其实是可以选的,上次我小孩要缝针,医生就想全麻,我坚决不同意(当时娃两岁),后来医生没办法,只好局麻,然后用一个专门绑小孩的布带,把孩子手脚都固定住,保证他在手术中不乱动。小孩一路哭(主要是因为捆住了不爽),但手术很顺利地做下来了, 就是哭声比较烦人。 我个人认为全麻是医生为了省事。
