Child Abuse-Dentist Perspective
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Child abuse is characterized as those demonstrations or oversights of consideration that deny a kid from the chance to completely build up his or her one of a kind possibilities as an individual either physically, socially or emotionally. The overall incidence of child abuse is not so clear. Measurable information don’t demonstrate the genuine rate due to the unreported cases. Physicians has minimal training in oral health, dental injury and disease and thus may not detect dental aspects of abuse or neglect as readily as they do child abuse and neglect involving other areas of the body. Therefore, physicians and dentists should collaborate to increase the prevention, detection, and treatment of these conditions. Dentists with expertise in child abuse will strengthen their ability to prevent and detect child abuse and neglect and enhance the ability to care for and protect children.
