AUSTIN (KXAN) ? The Texas State Board of Dental Examiners is investigating the death of a baby girl who died after receiving dental treatment at Austin Children?s Dentistry in Northwest Austin Tuesday.

The child?s cause of death is still being determined pending the outcome of an autopsy, which is being done Wednesday.
