The mission of the Mid-Atlantic P.A.N.D.A. Coalition is to train healthcare providers to recognize and respond to signs of family violence. The goal of the P.A.N.D.A. program is to heighten awareness among healthcare professionals, and anyone who has contact with children, in the hopes of ending acts of abuse and neglect.
Role of the Dental Provider
• Dentists and dental hygienists are mandated to report suspected cases of child abuse and neglect.
• Individuals who commit abuse often avoid taking their victims to the same physician, but usually return to the same dental office.
• Dentists and dental hygienists are in a unique position to recognize signs of physical and sexual abuse that occur around the head and neck area.
