Pulpotomy Infections at Children's Dental Group in Anaheim

More than 500 children were exposed to the bacteria filled water during the months of March through August of 2016.  The Children's Dental Group operates 9 other locations in California. These children had unnecessary root canals after being told by the dentist that it was an urgent medical need. The dirty water remained inside the tooth canal while the dental staff covered the tooth with a crown. The bacteria remained inside the tooth, which grew to attach the tooth, gums and bone. Several of the children remain at Children's Hospital of Orange County, and many others have undergone surgery to extract the infected teeth, treat the gums, and even remove parts of the jawbone.  High doses of strong antibiotics, which is used to treat leprosy, have been used to treat the infected children.

The Dental Board of California has encouraged other victims to report the Children's Dental Group of Anaheim if they  have concerns about the treatment or care of the child. Last week, the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted give $150,000 to the Children's Hospital (CHOC) to treat the growing number of children infected by the water at Children's Dental Group.
