I am involved with a number of migrant settlement groups and we hear these type of stories quite frequently.
Below are my responses to the questions:

Dental Aspects of Child Abuse- although not reported as widely as it should be. It is ethically and legally important to consider the early signs from dental abuse as a flag to other forms of abuse the child may be facing. The law does not punish carers for dental neglect at this stage but it is paramount for the law makers to re look at the legislation so that children do not have to endure dental pain which has lot of psychological effects on the child and also limits their nutritional intake . The early loss of baby teeth further compromises occlusion of the child and creates aesthetic problems which means the child is embrassed to smile. Just trying to highlight this to fellow course participants as often dental abuse is not recorded as it is not considered life threatening
