A Texas dentist has been charged after a 4-year-old girl died from a routine procedure that she didn’t even need, according to reports. Chrishelle Hemphill — a mom of two who runs Cuddle Kids Dental Care in Fort Worth – was arrested at her office Wednesday over the April 1 procedure that led to Aithana Rodríguez-Arriaga’s death, KTVT reported. The “sweet, loving” 4-year-old girl was given lethal doses of pain medication for a tongue-tie op that both her pediatrician and a specialist both said she didn’t even need, according to an arrest report.
