Toothache

Probe launched into death of 5-year-old following dental operation

An investigation has been launched into allegations of negligence at a dental clinic in the northwestern province of Bursa after a 5-year-old child, who had a tooth extracted, tragically lost their life shortly afterward.

Elena and Aydın Sönmez brought their only child Deniz Sönmez to a private dental clinic on Nov. 10 because of a toothache complaint.
