A toddler has died after suffering a medical emergency at the dentist ahead of a simple operation to cap his teeth.
Shardé Sherrill and David Mitchell took their son Er'mias, two, to Valleygate Dental Surgery Center in Greensboro, North Carolina, for treatment on July 17.
An ambulance transported the young boy to a nearby hospital roughly 40 minutes after the dental team took him in for the procedure, WXII reports.
Sherill and Mitchell allege they were not informed of any complications until he was already en route to the hospital without them.
The parents claim nurses told them the boy's lungs had collapsed, despite Er'mias having passed health checks at Valleygate that very morning.
Sherill and Mitchell drove 30 minutes to the hospital to find their son, but by the time they arrived it was too late to say goodbye.
They are now demanding accountability from Valleygate in Er'mias' death and what they said were 'unethical' actions taken by staff.
But Valleygate boss Virginia Jones appears to have dismissed their claims, stating in a letter obtained by WBTV that 'we do not yet know what caused Er'mias' tragedy' and adding that staff 'did everything they could'.

Mother and son.
They’re still baby teeth that will fall out in a few years. Why?
Yes. Who caps baby teeth?
It sounds bizarre whatever happened.
I have two nephews whose mother let them have a bottle in their mouth round the clock and their baby teeth rotted. We’re talking, like, black teeth. If I remember correctly, they were pulled out eventually, not capped.
They would all be baby teeth at that point. Why cap when they would soon fall out anyway?
Yes, he’d be losing those teeth in a couple years, anyway. Why put him thru that procedure?
In Memphis it’s normal to see kids entering kindergarten with gold grill caps. The mothers have it done so the other kids will “respect” my boy. I would think a dentist should be arrested and charged for doing that?
Why is a two-year-old going through a dental procedure that involves anesthesia? Especially at a dentists' office?
Were they decorative caps ?
He looks well cared for. Dentist probably recommended it; we have to wait and see. Just tragic.

Why is a two-year old having their teeth capped???
What kind of dentist would even agree to carry out such a procedure? Bizarre.

they specialize in administering general anesthesia by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, NOT by MD anesthesiologists ...
ALWAYS insist that general anesthesia be administered and monitored by an anesthesiologist certified by The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) or The American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS), with the ABA considered the “gold standard”.
To become certified, a physician must complete medical school and an anesthesiology residency program, then pass a comprehensive examination. Board certification is a valuable asset in the job market, indicating a high level of competency to patients and employers.
Certifying Bodies
The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA): The most recognized and respected certifying body for anesthesiologists in the United States, offering a rigorous process that serves as a benchmark for quality care.
The American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS): Another option for board certification, with its own Board of Certification in Anesthesiology (BCA) that follows established general and specific requirements.
How to Become Certified (General Steps)
Medical Education: Complete medical school, followed by a four-year anesthesiology residency program.
Pass the Examination: After residency, a physician is eligible to sit for the ABA examination, or the BCA exam if pursuing that certification.
Receive Certification: Passing the certification exam demonstrates the necessary knowledge and skills to become a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Why Board Certification Matters
Patient Trust: Patients look to board certification as a sign of a physician’s expertise in providing safe, high-quality care.
Professional Competitiveness: Board-certified anesthesiologists are more competitive in the job market compared to those without certification.
Demonstrated Expertise: The certification process verifies a physician’s in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and anesthesia equipment and monitoring.

Some people just have teeth that go bad very easily.
Her younger sister had no problems at all.
Yogi, I believe this question is addressed to you?
It’s called a “grillz”.
EC
It is now common practice. Medicaid type State plans will pay for it, so pediatric dentists figured out they can get even richer. Supposedly, it preserves the teeth so they don’t have to be pulled and affect positioning of permanent teeth. Why can’t they just fill the teeth? Much lower reimbursement.
...and yet, one of those clowns killed my younger brother.
