Free State girl (4) dies after tooth extraction

JOHANNESBURG - Free State Health has suspended dental services at the Botshabelo District Hospital.

It follows the death of a four-year-old at the facility.

The girl was accompanied by her mother on Wednesday for a routine tooth extraction.

But the procedure proved unsuccessful, and the girl's life was lost.

Hospital management claims the procedure was done by highly-trained staff.

Now the clinic has been closed for further investigation.
