ABC will air a segment covering pediatric dental anesthesiology and some of its associated risks July 12 during "World News With Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline," according to the Raven Maria Blanco Foundation (RMBF).
"They haven't been specific about what it will cover, but they have spoken with several parents who have lost children and gone to facilities where things have happened," said Nicole Cunha, executive director at RMBF.
Cunha's uncle and his wife lost their daughter Raven Maria five years after a chloral hydrate overdose prior to having her teeth cleaned, which spurred the creation of the organization. Both were interviewed for the ABC news story, according to Cunha.
"The film crew also came out to the Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta this year," Cunha said. "They've been all over the place, but I don't know exactly what they'll say or do."
"There's a lot to the story," she added.
