A former Houston dentist was formally charged Monday with failing to properly treat a sedated 4-year-old patient who was left with permanent brain damage in what should have been a routine procedure.
Bethaniel Jefferson, 40, who lost her license to practice in Texas in November, was indicted by a Harris County grand jury on a felony charge of causing serious bodily injury to a child by omission, according to the district attorney’s office.
The child’s mother, Courissa Clark, said she was “overjoyed” when she heard the news.
