The family of a four-year-old Edmonton girl who suffered brain damage after she was given a general anesthetic for a dental procedure has been told the findings of an investigation into what happened to their little girl will not be publicly released.

Raman Athwal is glad to hear the Alberta Dental Association and College is looking into its rules regarding deep sedation and general anesthesia. But, for his family, it comes too late.

The Alberta Dental Association and College decided Oct. 28 to "immediately suspend" the practice of allowing one dentist to provide deep sedation or general anesthesia while also providing dental treatment.
