First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study watched 85 children (ages 2-18) having dental procedures under general anesthesia to see if pulling the tongue to the side causes sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure. Researchers recorded these changes during fillings, root canals, extractions, and cyst surgeries. The goal is to better understand this reflex so dental teams can keep young patients safe.
