A leaflet about oral injuries and human bites in relation to child abuse
Oral injuries and bites on children (PDF, 440KB)
summarises what is currently known about oral injuries and human bites in relation to child abuse. The information will be of particular interest to dentists, dental care professionals, paediatricians, and Accident and Emergency (A&E) staff.
It will also be relevant to nursery nurses, health visitors, school nurses, teachers, legal practitioners, social workers and the police.
Oral injuries and bites on children is the third in a series of information leaflets on aspects of physical child abuse based on a collaborative project by the NSPCC and the Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review Group at the Department of Child Health, Cardiff University.
The Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review Group (CORE-INFO) are engaged in a rolling programme of systematic reviews of published research literature on aspects of physical child abuse.
Information about this and the project's other systematic reviews - on bruises, bites and oral injuries, burns and scalds, non-accidental head injuries, and abdominal injuries, as well as the reviews and annual updates - can be found at www.core-info.cf.ac.uk .
