WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The parents of a 3-year-old boy who died after a procedure to pull teeth at a Wichita dentist's office filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday.

Angel Zapata and Nancy Valenzuela, of Scott City, argue in the lawsuit that their son, Abiel Zapata Valenzuela, did not receive adequate care during the appointment on July 6.

The lawsuit says Abiel's mother was told by two dental offices in southwest Kansas that he needed to have two teeth pulled because of a gum infection, KSNW-TV reported.

She took him to Tiny Teeth Pediatric in Wichita. The lawsuit names the practice, Dr. Scott White, nurse-anesthetist Jeremy Salsbury and and Special Anesthesia Services.

The lawsuit said the boy developed an irregular heart rhythm and inadequate ventilation shorty after receiving two medical anesthetics. After his pulse stopped, CPR was started and he was intubated. Emergency responders arrived and continued CPR but Abiel died a a hospital.

An attorney for Tiny Teeth Pediatric did not return messages seeking comment.

The lawsuit also challenges a state law that limits jury awards in wrongful death lawsuits.
