Michigan woman dies after getting 16 teeth pulled during trip to the dentist
- 8 years ago
SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN — A Michigan woman passed away last Friday after she had 16 teeth removed in one go during a trip to the dentist to treat an infection.
April Walters, 46, who was reliant on an oxygen machine because of health problems, was feeling anxious about a trip to the dentist. According to Fox 2 Detroit, Walters suffered from sarcoidosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary high blood pressure as well as diabetes.
Prior to the procedure, Walters had a heart rate of 130 bpm, spurring a dental assistant at Southfield Dental Care to suggest waiting for Walters' heart rate to come down before they continued with the procedure. The dentist, however, allegedly didn't think waiting was necessary, Walters' daughter told Fox 2 Detroit.
After the dentist pulled 16 out of the 18 teeth that Walters needed to have pulled, the dentist decided to stop for the day. She then advised Walters to go to the hospital because Walters' heart rate was still so high.
Shortly after Walters' sister and her brother-in-law arrived to pick her up from the dentist office, Walters started to have trouble breathing and passed out.
It was assumed that her oxygen tank had run out, so they ran into the office to get more oxygen. However, that didn't help and Walters could not be revived, reported Fox 2 Detroit.
An autopsy will be done and the dentist's office is currently investigating the incident in order to understand how a woman died so suddenly on their doorstep.
