Tribunal bans Pilbara dentist Ananda Krishnan from practising after giving boy excessive sedation
A tribunal has banned a Western Australian dentist from practising for four years after he gave too much of an oral sedative to a young boy, which carried a risk he could have stopped breathing. A statement of agreed facts before the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) said dentist Ananda Krishnan compromised the health and safety of a five-year-old boy by giving him 10 milligrams of midazolam before dental treatment.
