The procedure took place on March 18 at Dreamtime Dentistry, located on Vista Village Drive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the dental procedure, the 9-year-old Moreno was moved to a recovery room before being discharged. According to reports, she fell asleep on the car ride home and remained asleep. When her family went to check on her later, she was unresponsive. Emergency responders took her to Rady Children\u2019s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The San Diego Police Department has launched an investigation into her death, and the Medical Examiner\u2019s Office has yet to determine the official cause.

If an anesthesiologist or medical professional fails to adhere to protocol, the consequences can be devastating.
