Would not have been a traditional root canal but rather a pulpotomy which is necessary when severe tooth decay has entered into the "live" portion of the tooth and infected the nerves/blood vessels and surrounding bone. Same concept as an adult root canal but much quicker and easier to do.
Regardless the "root canals" had no play in the resulting brain damage. Most likely loss of airway and hypoxia from sedating her too deeply without proper airway management.
Very sad.
