A fourteen month old toddler named Daisy Lynn Torres has died after a “routine” visit to the dentist.
The Mother, Betty Squire, is now demanding answers after she took her daughter to have two cavities filled at Austin Children’s Dentistry in northwest Austin. Squire said that she was told that her daughter would be put under anesthesia but was assured that it was a routine procedure and something that was done all the time.
The procedure unfortunately took a horrible turn when the toddler stopped breathing and had to be rushed to North Austin Medical Center where she was pronounced dead five hours later.
A Fundraising site set up for raising funds for funeral expenses states “despite efforts by the hospital staff, she passed away this morning. This was completely unexpected and has shattered this family’s world”
Austin Children’s Dentistry posted the following statement on their Facebook page following the incident: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the child who was lost this week. The child was transported from our Hymeadow location to a hospital and later passed. For privacy of the family and legal requirements we are unable to share additional details. This is a tragedy. Our deepest condolences go out to the family.”
An investigation as to the actual cause of death is still being conducted which will include an analysis of the autopsy report.
