Settlement Reached in Dental Death

An Illinois dentist and the dental clinic where he practiced have agreed to pay $1.135 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a 73-year-old man who died while having a tooth pulled.  The man's family claimed that the dentist failed to render appropriate care when the man stopped breathing after being administered an intravenous sedative.  Terms of the settlement did not force the dentist or clinic to admit wrongdoing.
