\n\t\tAmerican children are being put at risk by inadequately trained dentists<\/a> who often seek to enhance profits by sedating their young patients for even routine tooth cleaning and cavity treatments, an ABC News investigation has found.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn many cases, even well-trained dentists have been unable or ill-equipped to handle emergencies with young patients.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMore than a dozen children have died after being sedated by dentists, according to the Raven Maria Blanco Foundation<\/a>, which seeks to alert parents to the potential dangers of the increasingly widespread use of oral sedatives on patients as young as 18-months old.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThere is no national registry of dental deaths, and some experts say many deaths go unreported or are never officially tied to dental sedation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tEight-year old Raven Blanco died after her dentist, Dr. Michael Hechtkopf, gave her "three times the average range" of sedatives, according to the Virginia Board of Dentistry.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe dentist had his license restricted for three months and was ordered to complete seven hours of continuing education in record keeping and risk management. He has since retired."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
