State records show dentists have called for emergency services dozens of times in the past five years after patients received anesthesia during dental work and experienced medical complications.“I miss her cooking. No more holidays together. That hurts,” said her daughter, Teresa Rushing. She brought her mother to the dentist in October 2019 to get her teeth extracted for dentures.
“She coded in the dental chair, was taken to the hospital, and died 10 days later,” said Lincoln Combs, an attorney who represents Rushing. An investigation by the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners said the procedure should never have taken place because the dentist lacked the proper permit for anesthesia.
The Arizona Dental Board does track “adverse occurrences,” which are reports dentists are required to file with the board when a patient dies or when emergency medical services are called during the administration or recovery from anesthesia and sedation. “The vast majority of procedures done in the dental office are safe,” said Dr. Anthony Caputo, an Arizona dentist who specializes in anesthesiology and chairs the board’s investigative committee.Scott Eldredge, a medical malpractice attorney who has handled cases involving deaths after dental anesthesia, said the Arizona Dental Board is lax when it comes to disciplining dentists.But Caputo, who chairs the dental board’s investigative committee, said the board takes discipline seriously.
Along with the dental board, the Arizona Nursing Board also reviewed Stemmons’ death because nurse anesthetists are licensed through that board.
