SUMMARY |
Domestic violence is an ever-increasing problem in modern day society and includes physical abuse directed against children, spouses, and the elderly. Dentists are frequently the first health professionals to render treatment to an abused patient and must consequently be knowledgeable in recognizing the telltale signs of abuse and be aware of their reporting obligations and requirements.
Early recognition with timely referrals to appropriate agencies can possibly help prevent more significant injuries and even death from occurring in abused patients.
