CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT

Highlighting the urgent issue of child abuse and neglect, this book emphasizes the critical need for dental care providers to be educated about the signs and implications of maltreatment. It underscores the vulnerability of underprivileged children, who often suffer due to their caregivers' frustrations. While some find refuge in supportive institutions, many non-institutionalized children continue to face significant risks. The text advocates for greater awareness and protective measures to safeguard children's rights and well-being.
