Girl dies after trip to the dentist
A 9-year-old girl in California died hours after being placed under general anesthesia to undergo oral surgery, officials said.
Silvanna Moreno died hours after the oral procedure, which was performed under anesthesia at Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, California, on March 18, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“She was the sunshine in every room she entered, always greeting staff and classmates with a big smile and an even bigger hug,” a GoFundMe organizer wrote. “Her friends described her as kind, caring, and always happy, a true friend to everyone she met.”

Dreamtime Dentisty, in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, said that Morena was referred to their office for dental treatment under general anesthesia “due to her young age and situational anxiety.”
“Throughout the procedure, she was continuously monitored by our dentist anesthesiologist, who is a Diplomate of the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology as well as a Fellow in Anesthesiology from [the] American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and [an] active member of the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists who has over 20 years of experience successfully administering general anesthesia on children, with no complications observed,” the statement by Dr. Ryan Watkins said.

Following the procedure, the dentist’s office said that she was discharged in stable condition. They noted that when she awoke and was checked for stable vital signs, she was released into her mother’s care.
The medical examiner’s office said that Moreno, on the way home, fell back asleep and was transitioned into her bed at home. Her family checked on her throughout the day and later found her unresponsive in bed.

- Overall violent crime dropped 25% in the city, which includes the lowest homicide rate since the 1950s.
- Robberies are down 24%.
- Car break-ins are down 43%.

Kraken Extend Streak In Comeback OT Loss | Seattle Kraken
And while Dunn’s head coach insisted afterwards he doesn’t believe in “measuring stick games” the Kraken measured up fairly well in this one considering they played a pretty poor first period and needed half of the second frame to get any type of offense going against the league’s No. 2 defensive unit.
But they eventually got it going and the salvaged point, as Dunn mentioned, was huge in that it allowed the Kraken to remain in third place in the Pacific Division – just two points behind leaders Vegas and Edmonton – as they now embark on a five-city road trip. They extended their points streak to 10 games in the process, going 8-0-2 that stretch to transform a season hinging on the brink.
Mats Zuccarello got the overtime winner for Minnesota, converting a Kirill Kaprizov pass off a 2-on-1 break after the Kraken had been foiled just moments prior on their own odd-man rush. That foiled an outstanding night for Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer, who’d made several huge stops in both overtime and the third period to keep things tied, as well as prior to that frame to give his team the shot at a comeback.
The Kraken had spent the past week filling opposition nets with pucks but waited until the final 17 minutes to score their first goal of this game. By that point, they’d been trailing 2-0 since a pair of 42-foot wrist shot goals by Ryan Hartman and Brock Faber in the first period silenced the home crowd.
“The first period was awful, and our execution was probably the biggest part of that,” Dunn said. “It’s just tough when you’re chasing the game a little bit to start the game. So, we kind of set ourselves up for the second period to come out and play the right way and I thought as the game went on, we got a lot better.
“And I thought it was a pretty competitive game both ways. A lot of chances both ways.”
Grubauer kept things close from there, stopping 31 of 34 shots on the night to give his team a chance to get back in it.
Adam Larsson then got the Kraken on the board three minutes into the final period with a slap shot goal from the right circle after Dunn had rung one off the post on a prior blast seconds earlier. And the Kraken weren’t done yet.
The Wild ran into penalty trouble not long after and the Kraken capitalized on the power play with Matty Beniers banging home a net front rebound off a Jared McCann shot that lifted the home side into a 2-2 tie and sent the Climate Pledge Arena crowd into a frenzy.
