The family of a Minnesota teen who died after a routine wisdom tooth surgery has reached a $2million legal settlement.

Sydney Galleger, 17, went into cardiac arrest after her blood pressure shot up during the June 2015 procedure and she later died in the hospital.

Sydney's family had filed a wrongful death suit against her dentist, Dr Paul Tompach, alleging that his 'negligent and dangerous' actions during the routine surgery led to the teen's death.

Dr Tompach, who temporarily had his right to practice suspended by a state licensing board, and the family of Sydney had been scheduled to go to trial in May 2018, reported The Star Tribune.

Dr Tompach’s license to practice was suspended in January 2016 after the death of 17-year-old who was a junior at Eden Prairie High School, a diver on the high school swim team and an Alpine skier.

It was resumed under restrictions put in place about six weeks later by the state Board of Dentistry. The restrictions were lifted in late June of this year.

An investigation revealed that Dr Tompach allowed an uncertified dental assistant to monitor Sydney after administering anesthesia, and failed to respond appropriately when the emergency transpired.

The suit that was filed this past January saw Sydney's family seeking more than $500,000 in damages, according to The Star Tribune.

It's estimated that her death cost the family $200,000 in funeral and medical expenses.

Under terms of the publicly disclosed settlement, parents Diane and Steven Galleger will receive $1,279,600, the law firm representing them $740,000 and the family’s health insurer $40,400 for medical expenses related to the death.

The Galleger family originally said they did not foresee taking legal action in Sydney's death, so the legal action represented a change in mindset.

They were left further devastated in September 2016 when a definitive cause of death was not found by the autopsy.

Sydney's mother Diane Galleger told The Star Tribune at the time that she was unsure whether there would be further tests to determine the cause of death.

'We were just hoping for an answer,' she said. 'Could she have had a slight reaction to the medications causing everything to misfire? Unlikely, but we will never know. We just wanted God to give us something, give us an answer why our healthy, happy daughter is no longer with us.'

Medical examiners noted that they were unable to rule out the 'potential contributing role' in her death of a medication that Galleger was receiving during the oral surgery.

Diane said she doesn't foresee a lawsuit against the oral surgeon or his practice.

During the June 9 extraction, Sydney's blood pressure suddenly shot up, her pulse dropped and she went into a cardiac arrest.

The oral surgeon frantically started performing CPR on the teen as emergency crews rushed to the scene.

Sydney was then transported to the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator to help with her breathing.

In subsequent days, she suffered numerous seizures and underwent surgery to fit a drain in her skull to relieve the swelling of her brain. However, her brain continued to swell, cutting off the drain.

In the early hours of June 12, doctors informed Diane and Steve and the teen's younger brother, Jack, that there was nothing more they could do.

'As you can imagine, that was the most devastating news we have ever received,' Diane wrote on the CaringBridge page, where she and her relatives had been providing updates on Sydney.
