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？

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。
