Gum Disease More Condition_symptoms Is A Dentist Obligated To Call Social Services If A Minor Has Gum Disease, More Than 13 Cavities?

Is a dentist obligated to call social services if a minor has gum disease, more than 13 cavities? - gum disease more condition_symptoms

The child is now 13, never brushed his teeth. He is a dentist and a doctor and forced to contact social services about this?

A dentist is someone who is used by most states as a journalist "is defined binding. This means that if a professional look, what it means to be neglectful / abusive behavior on behalf of the fathers to the patient, he or she needs to inform Child Protective Services. A report of this kind are not well studied - most states have to deal with much more pressing problems with the management of abuse and neglect. If I seem a patient who was out of the 13 wells in sight, but always the parents really are interested in the treatment of children - does not justify a report. Most parents lack the financial resources necessary to get regular dental care for their children - to be negligent. I hope the parents get the opportunity to receive education about proper dental care affordable for their children and the possibility of routine dental care. Hope this helps!

It is possible, depending on the attitudes of parents ... If a parent seems mentally unstable or the child becomes unstable, it would probably be in the best interest of the child if the situation has been investigated. I work for a Head Start program, and some of our children are 17 Cavata because the parents do not teach children good brushing technique. It is a difficult decision, but sometimes you have the interests of the child in the eye and make the appropriate call.

That's too bad.
I had 7 cavities when I was about 8th
I hated brushing ... and ate lots of candy.
Call not want anyone to me ... I have a long speech, brush their teeth.

I do not know if I call social services about this.
For it is not actually physically abused.
But I suppose it could be unhealthy ... I can pick up the house.


But hey, my father has not brushed his teeth since he was 5 and he is now 40th
His teeth were correct.
But no one called anyone on it.

Never heard of it. The question is whether the parents have the money to cover all the teeth, or if they can convince the child from brushes. Many children do not brush or floss. When I was young, I remember the schools of dentistry concerned with pockets of small tubes of toothpaste and toothbrushes for children.
