On April 24, Dong Li had dental work done at Youthful Tooth in Oakland. Relatives said that he was given two doses of anesthesia - and he stopped breathing during the procedure, writes San Francisco Chronicle.
“Dong began to choke, so oxygen could not reach the rest of his body, causing his liver to fail,” the boy’s cousin, Lillian Le, wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Blood was pouring from his mouth and nose - a sight that deeply frightened our entire family.”

On Wednesday, the California Dental Council confirmed that it was investigating whether there had been a violation of the Dental Practices Act, but the agency refused to give details of the case or other complaints.
Two licensed dentists are registered with Youthful Tooth. One dentist has active certification for oral anesthesia, according to the Department of Consumer Affairs.
A spokesman for the agency, Matt Woodcheck, confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
“If a violation is discovered, (the Dental Board of California) will contact the attorney general's office and seek revocation of the license,” he said.

Youthful Tooth declined to comment.
“This is confidential and we cannot comment further at this time,” said Deanna Cervantes, corporate manager for Youthful Tooth.
California began to require written consent for anesthesia for juveniles in 2016 after the death of Caleb Sears, an 6-year-old boy who stopped breathing during a dental procedure in Albany.
According to the Dental Board of California, for the 21 month (from 2017 to 2018 a year), two people died of anesthesia and the 23 patient under the age of 21 was hospitalized.
The Lee family emigrated from Vietnam to the United States in March 2017, and planned to travel to her home country next month.
